Observation of topological valley Hall edge states in honeycomb lattices of superconducting microwave resonators
arXiv:2103.16520 · doi:10.1364/OME.414517
Abstract
We have designed honeycomb lattices for microwave photons with a frequency imbalance between the two sites in the unit cell. This imbalance is the equivalent of a mass term that breaks the lattice inversion symmetry. At the interface between two lattices with opposite imbalance, we observe topological valley edge states. By imaging the spatial dependence of the modes along the interface, we obtain their dispersion relation that we compare to the predictions of an ab initio tight-binding model describing our microwave photonic lattices.
