We show how to implement topological or Thouless pumping of interacting photons in one dimensional nonlinear resonator arrays, by simply modulating the frequency of the resonators periodically in space and time. The interplay between…

Entangled photon states attract tremendous interest as the most vivid manifestation of nonlocality of quantum mechanics and also for emerging applications in quantum information. Here we propose a mechanism of generation of…

Topological photonics was initially inspired by the quantum-optical analogy between the Schr\"odinger equation for an electron wavefunction and the paraxial equation for a light beam. Here, we reveal an unexpected phenomenon in topological…

The optical properties of graphene are made unique by the linear band structure and the vanishing density of states at the Dirac point. It has been proposed that even in the absence of a semiconducting bandgap, a relaxation bottleneck at…

Quantum emitters promise to emit exactly one photon with high probability when pumped by a laser pulse. However, even in ideal systems, re-excitation during a laser pulse causes the consecutive emission of two photons, thus limiting the…

We investigate the problem of the electron interacting with the charge induced on the metal or dielectric surface. We show that the interaction between the electron and the induced surface charge leads to the lateral confinement of the…
