Quantum Geometry in Hyperbolic Band Theory

Hyperbolic band theory (HBT) has recently unveiled a wealth of exotic physical phenomena in negatively curved spaces. Concurrently, the quantum metric has emerged as a fundamental tensor governing quantum geometry and topological phases. In this Letter, we bridge these two frontiers by investigating the quantum metric in HBT. Because conventional Euclidean metric extraction protocols fundamentally fail in these non-commutative geometries, we introduce holonomy shaking, a novel, experimentally viable technique utilizing periodic lattice driving to dynamically extract the metric. Using the {8,3} regular hyperbolic and kagome-like lattices as concrete examples, we demonstrate the high-fidelity dynamical extraction of the quantum metric. Our results establish a robust blueprint for probing hyperbolic quantum geometries, paving the way for the discovery of exotic topological phenomena in hyperbolic quantum matter.

Unveiling the Self-Orthogonality at Exceptional Points in Driven $\mathcal{PT}$-Symmetric Systems

We explore the effect of self-orthogonality at exceptional points (EPs) in non-Hermitian Parity-Time-symmetric systems. Using a driven three-band lattice model, we show that the Rabi frequency diverges as the system approaches an EP due to the coalescence of eigenstates. We demonstrate that this divergence manifests in experimentally accessible power oscillations, establishing a direct observable for self-orthogonality. Our results provide a pathway for probing EP physics in various metamaterial platforms.

Simulating Holographic Conformal Field Theories on Hyperbolic Lattices

We demonstrate how table-top settings combining hyperbolic lattices with nonlinear dynamics universally encode aspects of the bulk-boundary-correspondence between gravity in anti-de-Sitter (AdS) space and conformal field theory (CFT). Our concrete and broadly applicable holographic toy model simulates gravitational self-interactions in the bulk and features an emergent CFT with nontrivial correlations on the boundary. We measure the CFT data contained in the two- and three-point functions and clarify how a thermal CFT is simulated through an effective black hole geometry. As a concrete example, we propose and simulate an experimentally feasible protocol to measure the holographic CFT using electrical circuits.

Topological Edge State Nucleation in Frequency Space and its Realization with Floquet Electrical Circuits

We build Floquet-driven capactive circuit networks to realize topological states of matter in the frequency domain. We find the Floquet circuit network equations of motion to reveal a potential barrier which effectively acts as a boundary in frequency space. By implementing a Su-Shrieffer-Heeger Floquet lattice model and measuring the associated circuit Laplacian and characteristic resonances, we demonstrate how topological edge modes can nucleate at such a frequency boundary.
