According to the holographic principle, the description of a volume of space can be thought of as encoded on its boundary. Holographic principle establishes equivalence, or duality, between theoretical description of volume physics, which involves gravity, and the gravity-free field theory, which describes physics on its surface. While generally accepted as a theoretical framework, so far there was no known experimental system which would exhibit explicit holographic duality and be amenable to…

A microscopic study of point, linear, planar and volume defects of the nanoparticle chain structure is presented and it is demonstrated that they may exhibit strong similarities with such Minkowski space–time defects as magnetic monopoles, cosmic strings and the recently proposed space-time cloaks.

Sub-wavelength confinement of light in nonlinear hyperbolic metamaterials due to formation of spatial solitons has attracted much recent attention because of its seemingly counter-intuitive behavior.
In the spirit of the broadly defined holographic conjecture, we explore a relationship between the bulk and boundary properties of non-interacting massive Dirac fermions living on a deformable
It is demonstrated that vacuum behaves as a hyperbolic metamaterial, and this behavior may have imprints in the large scale structure of the present-day Universe.
We explore an apparent holography-like relationship between the bulk and boundary properties of non-interacting massive Dirac fermions living on a flexible surface, such as a sheet of graphene. We
There is strong evidence that the area of any surface limits the information content of adjacent spacetime regions, at $1.4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{69}$ bits per square meter. This
