Abstract

We implement the equation of motion of the large-N Gross-Neveu model from strong interaction physics in photonic waveguide arrays and study one of its paradigmatic multi-fermion bound state solutions in an optical experiment. The present study constitutes an important first step towards waveguide-based simulations of phenomena relevant for high-energy physics.
