Topological insulators feature a number of topologically protected boundary modes linked to the value of their bulk invariant. While in one-dimensional systems the boundary modes are zero dimensional and localized, in two-dimensional…
One dimensional topological insulators are characterized by edge states with exponentially small energies. According to one generalization of topological phases to non-Hermitian systems, a finite system in a non-trivial topological phase…
Topological boundary and interface modes are generated in an acoustic waveguide by simple quasi-periodic patternings of the walls. The procedure opens many topological gaps in the resonant spectrum and qualitative as well as quantitative…
We show how one can use a non-local boundary condition, which is compatible with standard frequency domain methods, for numerical calculation of quasinormal modes in optical cavities coupled to waveguides. In addition, we extend the…
The characteristics of topologically protected wave propagation is typically predicted via the band structure of the primitive unit cell, using Berry curvature to predict localized interface or boundary states (as well as their degree of…
This work extends the theory of topological protection to dispersive systems. This theory has emerged from the field of topological insulators and has been established for continuum models in both classical and quantum settings. It predicts…
Topological phase transitions between a conventional insulator and a state of matter with topological properties have been proposed and observed in mercury telluride - cadmium telluride quantum wells. We show that a topological state can be…
We report that equidistant 1D arrays of thin-film Lithium Niobate nano-waveguides generically support topological edge states. Unlike conventional coupled-waveguide topological systems, the topological properties of these arrays are…
Waveguides are fundamental components in communication systems. However, they suffer from reflection and scattering losses at sharp routes or defects. The breakthrough in developing topological photonic crystals (PhCs) provides promising…
Topological phases in quantum and classical systems have been of significant recent interest due to their fascinating physical properties. While a range of different mechanisms to induce topological order have been introduced, a quest for…
We study electron transport at the edge of a generic disordered two-dimensional topological insulator, where some channels are topologically protected from backscattering. Assuming the total number of channels is large, we consider the edge…
Topological insulators possess protected boundary states which are robust against disorders and have immense implications in both fermionic and bosonic systems. Harnessing these topological effects in non-equilibrium scenarios is highly…
Electromagnetic waves propagating, at finite speeds, in conventional wave-guiding structures are reflected by discontinuities and decay in lossy regions. In this Letter, we drastically modify this typical guided-wave behavior by combining…
We study the Floquet edge states in arrays of periodically curved optical waveguides described by the modulated Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. Beyond the bulk-edge correspondence, our study explores the interplay between band topology and…
This paper proposes a quantitative description of the low energy edge states at the interface between two-dimensional topological insulators. They are modeled by continuous Hamiltonians as systems of Dirac equations that are amenable to a…
Topologically protected edge states exactly at topological phase boundaries challenge the conventional belief that topological states must be associated with a bulk energy gap. Because periodically driven (Floquet) systems host unusually…
Symmetry-protected topological phases cannot be described by any local order parameter and are beyond the conventional symmetry-breaking paradigm for understanding quantum matter. They are characterized by topological boundary states robust…
Open optical or plasmonic resonators are placed on and connected through surfaces or via waveguides, forming complex lightguiding nanostructures, e.g. for integrated photonic quantum devices. We derive general boundary conditions for…
We present a joint experimental and theoretical study of the driven Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model implemented by arrays of evanescently coupled plasmonic waveguides. Floquet theory predicts that this system hosts for suitable driving…
Chiral edge states can transmit energy along imperfect interfaces in a topologically robust and unidirectional manner when protected by bulk-boundary correspondence. However, in continuum systems, the number of states at an interface can…
