• Abstract: We explore the topological properties of non-Hermitian nodal-link semimetals with dissipative cold atoms in a three-dimensional optical lattice. We construct a two-band continuum model in three dimensions with a spin-dependent gain and loss, where the exceptional points in the energy spectrum can comprise a double Hopf link. The topology of the bulk band is characterized by a winding number defined for a one-dimensional loop in the momentum space and a topological transition of the nodal structures emerges as the change of the non-Hermiticity strength. A non-Bloch theory is built to describe the corresponding lattice model which has anomalous bulk-boundary correspondence. Furthermore, we propose that the model can be realized using ultracold fermionic atoms in an optical lattice and the exceptional nodal links as well as the topological properties can be detected by measuring the atomic spin textures.

  We study the spectrum of excitations of a two-dimensional, planar honeycomb lattice of two-level atoms coupled by the in-plane electromagnetic field. We establish the conditions of band gap opening, compute the width of the gap, and characterize its topological property by a topological index (Chern number) A larger $d$ allows for propagating optical modes that are built up due to reflections at the cavity mirrors and have frequencies inside the band gap of the free-standing lattice, thus closing the latter.

  We show how photon-mediated interactions give rise to a plaquette-ordered bond pattern in the atomic ground state. The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states. Our work shows how atomic quantum simulators can be harnessed to investigate novel strongly-correlated topological phenomena.

  Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols. Here, we demonstrate a functional source of high-dimensional, noise-resilient hyperentangled states encoded in time-frequency and vector-vortex structured modes. We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.

We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
