Definite photon deflections of topological defects in metasurfaces and symmetry-breaking phase transitions with material loss

Photonic structures can be used to simulate fundamental physical phenomena like the optical analog of gravity. Here, the authors use metasurface-engineered waveguides to emulate the optical effects of a topological defect on space-time.
