17 Photonic Analog of Topological Insulators
18 Topological insulators: topological phases without TRS breaking 2005: Kane & Mele showed that time-reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking is not prerequisite for topological phases of matter For spin ½ electrons, the T symmetry is expressed as antiunitary operator Θ: For a Hamiltonian H which preserves TRS we have: exp( i S / ) K S y : spin operator y K : complex conjugation 1 H( k) ( k) The eigenvalues of a Hamiltonian H preserving TRS are at least double degenerate (Kramer s theorem) In the absence of SOC it has trivial application since spin up and down states are double degenerate However, in the presence of SOC it has dramatic consequences since spin up and down states are no longer degenerate Non-protected topological surface states Protected topological surface states MZ Hasan and CL Kane, RMP 82, 3045 (2010)
19 Topological insulators: topological phases without TRS breaking Weak TI (Surface states easily removed by disorder) Strong TI (Surface states robust to disorder) MZ Hasan and CL Kane, RMP 82, 3045 (2010) Weak TI Strong TI 4-band tight-binding model of s states on a diamond lattice with SOC L Fu, CL Kane & EJ Mele, PRL 98, (2007)
20 Topological crystalline insulators There exists other topological classes preserving different symmetries such as Topological superconductors (particle-hole symmetry) Topological magnetic insulators (magnetic translational symmetry) Topological crystalline insulators (point-group symmetry) For topological crystalline insulators SOC is not necessary since the Hamiltonian is invariant under operations of the point-group symmetry. E.g., for a crystal with C 4 symmetry, we have: Tetragonal crystal of atoms with p x and p y orbitals L Fu, PRL 106, (2011)
21 Photonic analog of topological crystalline insulators We consider a tetragonal crystal of weakly coupled uniaxial dielectric cavities embedded within a lossless plasmonic metal Uniaxial response : Each cavity is simulated by two dipoles d x and d y By employing the discerete dipole approximation in the context of tight-binding approach we end up with the following eigenvalue problem which provides the frequency band structure for a 3D crystal as well as for finite slabs of.

22 Band gap and gapless surface states Frequency band structure of a 3D tetragonal lattice of weakly coupled cavities in plasma: Frequency band gap Frequency band structure of slab ABAB ABB from 80 bilayers Quadratic degeneracy of surface states Topological states of the EM field? Yes! The Z 2 topological invariant is ν 0 = 1 (nonzero) VY, Phys. Rev. B 84, (2011).
23 Metamaterial design for a photonic topological crystalline insulator First of all we need a lossless plasma! 2 p Metals should be the obvious choice. However, when metals are described as plasma, i.e., ( ) 1 which is the case in the optical regime, they are extremely lossy. ( i ) In the infrared regime and below (e.g., microwave regime) they are almost losses but not a plasma! Artificial plasma! 3D network of metallic wires of diameter d~10μm operating in the GHz regime Lossless plasma since metals in the GHz regime are perfect conductors and hence suffer small losses. 2 p 2 Therefore, ( ) 1, where ω p lies in the GHz regime. JB Pendry et al., PRL 76, 4773 (1996)

33 Conclusions Photonic simulators for the IQHE, FQHE, topological insulators and Majorana-like edge states. Realization in the microwave regime via coupled cavity arrays, transmission lines, supeconducting QED systems, dielectric waveguides, etc. Photonic tight-binding models for coupled cavities (framework of the EM Green s tensor dyadic) reproduce the tight-binding Hamiltonians for topological atomic matter. Photons, unlike electrons interact very weakly with each other (with pros and cons)
