We present an analytical theory of topologically protected photonic states for the two-dimensional Maxwell equations for a class of continuous periodic dielectric structures, modulated by a domain wall. We further numerically confirm the applicability of this theory for three-dimensional structures.

Entangled multiphoton states lie at the heart of quantum information, computing, and communications. In recent years, topology has risen as a new avenue to robustly transport quantum states in the presence of fabrication defects, disorder and other n
oise sources. Whereas topological protection of single photons and correlated photons has been recently demonstrated experimentally, the observation of topologically protected entangled states has thus far remained elusive. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the topological protection of spatially-entangled biphoton states. We observe robustness in crucial features of the topological biphoton correlation map in the presence of deliberately introduced disorder in the silicon nanophotonic structure, in contrast with the lack of robustness in nontopological structures. The topological protection is shown to ensure the coherent propagation of the entangled topological modes, which may lead to robust propagation of quantum information in disordered systems.
We propose a concept of chiral photonic limiters utilising topologically protected localised midgap defect states in a photonic waveguide. The chiral symmetry alleviates the effects of structural imperfections and guaranties a high level of resonant
transmission for low intensity radiation. At high intensity, the light-induced absorption can suppress the localised modes, along with the resonant transmission. In this case the entire photonic structure becomes highly reflective within a broad frequency range, thus increasing dramatically the damage threshold of the limiter. Here we demonstrate experimentally the principle of operation of such photonic structures using a waveguide consisting of coupled dielectric microwave resonators.
Single-photon super- and subradiance are important for the quantum memory and quantum information. We investigate one-dimensional atomic arrays under the spatially periodic magnetic field with a tunable phase, which provides a distinctive physics asp
ect of revealing exotic two-dimensional topological phenomena with a synthetic dimension. A butterfly-like nontrivial bandstructure associated with the non-Hermitian physics involving strong long-range interactions has been discovered. It leads to pairs of topologically-protected edge states, which exhibit the robust super- or subradiance behavior, localized at the boundaries of the atomic arrays. This work opens an avenue of exploring an interacting quantum optical platform with synthetic dimensions pointing to potential implications for quantum sensing as well as the super-resolution imaging.
Edge states exhibit the nontrivial topology of energy band in the bulk. As localized states at boundaries, many-particle edge states may obey a special symmetry that is broken in the bulk. When local particle-particle interaction is induced, they may
support a particular property. We consider an anisotropic two-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger Hubbard model and examine the appearance of $eta$-pairing edge states. In the absence of Hubbard interaction, the energy band is characterized by topologically invariant polarization in association with edge states. In the presence of on-site Hubbard interaction, $eta$-pairing edge states with an off-diagonal long-range order appear in the nontrivial topological phase, resulting in the condensation of pairs at the boundary. In addition, as Hamiltonian eigenstates, the edge states contain one paired component and one unpaired component. Neither affects the other; they act as two-fluid states. From numerical simulations of many-particle scattering processes, a clear manifestation and experimental detection scheme of topologically protected two-fluid edge states are provided.
Recently, high-order topological insulators (HOTIs), accompanied by topologically nontrivial boundary states with codimension larger than one, have been extensively explored because of unconventional bulk-boundary correspondences. As a novel type of
HOTIs, very recent works have explored the square-root HOTIs, where the topological nontrivial nature of bulk bands stems from the square of the Hamiltonian. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate 2D square-root HOTIs in photonic waveguide arrays written in glass using femtosecond laser direct-write techniques. Edge and corner states are clearly observed through visible light spectra. The dynamical evolutions of topological boundary states are experimentally demonstrated, which further verify the existence of in-gap edge and corner states. The robustness of these edge and corner states is revealed by introducing defects and disorders into the bulk structures. Our studies provide an extended platform for realizing light manipulation and stable photonic devices.
