Tag: Physicists ‘trick’ photons into behaving like electrons using a ‘synthetic’ magnetic field

“#Physicists ‘trick’ photons into behaving like electrons using a ‘synthetic’ magnetic field” Straining a honeycomb metasurface generates an artificial magnetic field for light which can be tuned by embedding the metasurface inside a cavity waveguide.
