Diabolical points in multi-scatterer optomechanical systems

Diabolical points, which originate from parameter-dependent accidental degeneracies of a system's energy levels, have played a fundamental role in the discovery of the Berry phase as well as in photonics (conical refraction), in chemical dynamics, and more recently in novel materials such as graphene, whose electronic band structure possess Dirac points. Here we discuss diabolical points in an ...

In sharp disagreement with the author, I believe that rather than being the “most efficient means of advancing our scientific understanding” hypothesis-free data collection would be completely devoid of any advancement at all. It is indeed the hypothesis that “follows the data”. No one ...
