Topological zero-dimensional photonic modes in chiral coupled-cavity arrays
*Correspondence: [email protected] Department of Physics, National Technical University of Athens, Athens, 157 80, Greece Abstract We show theoretically that a properly chosen one-dimensional array of coupled photonic resonators (cavities) may possess localized zero-dimensional topological modes bearing resemblance with the corresponding edge modes/Majorana states in semiconductor nanowires ...
متن کاملTopological Zero Modes in Monte Carlo Simulations
We present an improvement of global Metropolis updating steps, the instanton hits, used in a hybrid Monte Carlo simulation of the two-flavor Schwinger model with staggered fermions. These hits are designed to change the topological sector of the gauge field. In order to match these hits to an unquenched simulation with pseudofermions, the approximate zero mode structure of the lattice Dirac ope...
متن کاملDistinguishing zero-group-velocity modes in photonic crystals
We examine differences between various zero-group-velocity modes in photonic crystals, including those that arise from Bragg diffraction, anticrossings, and band repulsion. Zero-group velocity occurs at points where the group velocity changes sign, and therefore is conceptually related to “left-handed” media, in which the group velocity is opposite to the phase velocity. We consider this relati...
متن کاملZero-group-velocity modes in chalcogenide holey photonic-crystal fibers.
We demonstrate that a holey photonic-crystal fiber with chalcogenide-glass index contrast can be designed to have a complete gap at a propagation constant beta = 0 that also extends into the non-zero beta region. This type of bandgap (previously identified only at index contrasts unattainable in glasses) opens up a regime for guiding zero-group-velocity modes not possible in holey fibers with t...
متن کاملDomain wall fermion zero modes on classical topological backgrounds
The domain wall approach to lattice fermions employs an additional dimension, in which gauge fields are merely replicated, to separate the chiral components of a Dirac fermion. It is known that in the limit of infinite separation in this new dimension, domain wall fermions have exact zero modes, even for gauge fields which are not smooth. We explore the effects of finite extent in the fifth dim...
