Non-reciprocal optical devices, which break Lorentz reciprocity, are crucial for telecommunications, quantum computing, and optical signal processing. Traditional magneto-optic devices rely on bulky ...
A theoretical framework predicts the emergence of non-reciprocal interactions that effectively violate Newton’s third law in solids using light, report researchers from Japan. They demonstrate that by ...
