Topological photonics is a rapidly emerging field of research in which geometrical and
topological ideas are exploited to design and control the behavior of light. Drawing …

Quantum topological photonics is a new research field with great potential that is based on
developments in both quantum optics and topological photonics. Topological photonics …

The engineering of synthetic materials characterized by more than one class of topological
invariants is one of the current challenges of solid-state based and synthetic materials …

Photonic lattices—arrays of optical waveguides—are powerful platforms for simulating a
range of phenomena, including topological phases. While probing dynamics is possible in …

Floquet-Bloch lattices are systems in which wave packets are subjet to periodic modulations
both in time and space, showing rich dynamics. While this type of lattice is difficult to …

We report new oscillations of wave packets in quantum walks subjected to electric fields, that
decorate the usual Bloch-Zener oscillations of insulators. The number of turning points (or …

We show that optical beams propagating in transversally disordered materials exhibit a spin
Hall effect and a spin-to-orbital conversion of angular momentum as they deviate from …

Liquid crystals are complex fluids that allow exquisite control of light propagation thanks to
their orientational order and optical anisotropy. Inspired by recent advances in liquid-crystal …

We propose a generalization of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model of the bipartite lattice,
consisting of a periodic array of domain walls. The low-energy description is governed by …
