The Jackiw-Rebbi model describes a one-dimensional Dirac particle coupled to a soliton field and can be equivalently thought of as the model describing a Dirac particle under a Lorentz scalar potential. Neglecting the dynamics of the…
We study analytically and numerically the optical analogue of the Jackiw-Rebbi states in quantum field theory. These solutions exist at the interface of two binary waveguide arrays which are described by two Dirac equations with opposite…
Topology has been revealed to play a fundamental role in physics in the past decades. Topological insulators have unconventional gapless edge states where disorder-induced back-scattering is suppressed. In photonics, such edge states lead…
We theoretically investigate the emergence of Jackiw-Rebbi zero modes and their conductance signature in non-uniform topological insulator nano-wires. We modelled the non-uniform nano-wires as junction between two cylindrical nano-wires…
The discovery of two-dimensional topological photonic systems has transformed our views on electromagnetic propagation and scattering of classical waves, and a quest for similar states in three dimensions, known to exist in condensed matter…

Photonic flat bands offer significant potential for strong light-matter interactions, nonlinear optics, and sensing thanks to their localization of light and high density of states. However, realizing these flat bands typically requires…
Ballistically propagating topologically protected states harbor exotic transport phenomena of wide interest. Here we describe a nontopological mechanism that produces such states at the surfaces of generic Dirac materials, giving rise to…
We discuss the recent advances in meta-optics and nanophotonics associated with the physics of bound states in the continuum (BICs). Such resonant states appear due to a strong coupling between leaky modes in optical guiding structures…
We study a system of two-dimensional Dirac electrons (as is realized on the surface of a 3D topological insulator) coupled to an array of localized spins. The spins are coupled ferromagnetically to each other, forming an ordered ground…
Ultrathin films of Na3Bi on insulating substrates are desired for opening a bulk band gap and generating the quantum spin Hall effect from a topological Dirac semimetal, though continuous films in the few nanometer regime have been…
We propose and experimentally demonstrate the hybridization of radiating topological interface states, analogous to Jackiw-Rebbi states but in gain media with radiation fields. This hybridization not only modifies energy levels under a…
