N2 - We demonstrate that optical tachyons, particles that travel faster than the speed of light, can be generated by PT-symmetry breaking in photonic graphene. We further show that the PT-symmetry can be restored via strain.
AB - We demonstrate that optical tachyons, particles that travel faster than the speed of light, can be generated by PT-symmetry breaking in photonic graphene. We further show that the PT-symmetry can be restored via strain.
