Vortices, skyrmions, Möbius strips: from polaritons to ocean waves

SPICE Workshop on Spin textures: Magnetism meets Plasmonics, July 23rd - 25th 2024

Konstantin Bliokh

I will present recent theoretical and experimental results on: (i) subwavelength high-intensity vortices around holes in 2D wave systems: from polaritons to ocean waves, (ii) generation of the Bessel-type vortices, displacement-field skyrmions, and polarization Möbius strips in sound and water waves,  and  (iii) manipulation of floating particles using topologically structured water waves.
