Article Abstract
Hopf links are important topological structures found in a range of disciplines. They represent the projection of higher-dimensional objects to three-dimensional (3D) physical space. Optical Hopf fibration texture has been demonstrated by synthesizing the transverse states of polarization and the phase. In this work, we demonstrate synthesizing Hopf links by 3D spin angular momentum (SAM) through tight focusing complex optical fields with a 4Pi confocal optical system. The focal volume under tight focusing provides a platform for manipulating the nonnegligible z-component of the electric field and thus the 3D states of polarization. Hopf links that consist of two and three disjoint and linked circles are shown as examples. Since Hopf links are topological objects that are projected from higher-dimensions, they may find applications in high-dimensional optical data storage and encryption or be exploited as information carriers.

These wavepackets share with the basic Hopfion, as well as higher-order Hopf-Ranada solutions, topological properties dealing with linked and knotted electromagnetic field lines. Contrary to the Hopf-Ranada solutions, however, they are unidirectional and devoid of energy backflow, the latter being a counterintuitive phenomenon whereby, even for forward-propagating plane wave components, the energy locally propagates backward.

The principal innovative contribution of this study resides in the introduction of a category of fractional delayed large-scale neural networks characterized by intricate topological structures. Additionally, this article provides a comprehensive exploration of novel outcomes linked to fractional order-induced bifurcations in large-scale networks. In the initial step, the correlation of the artificial neural network and the graphical neural network is established through the Mason's diagram method.

Excessive levels of alcohol consumption play a major role in numerous alcohol-related harms, including a heightened risk of developing problematic drinking behaviors. Those who develop alcohol use disorder (AUD) often struggle with persistent difficulties in controlling their drinking, experience withdrawal symptoms, and engage in risky behaviors that pose danger to themselves and others. Advances in treating AUD may be supported by identifying specific cognitive and emotional factors that drive excessive alcohol consumption.

Links and knots are exotic topological structures that have garnered significant interest across multiple branches of natural sciences. Coherent links and knots, such as those constructed by phase or polarization singularities of coherent light, have been observed in various three-dimensional optical settings. However, incoherent links and knots-knotted or connected lines of coherence singularities-arise from a fundamentally different concept.
