- Abstract summary: We study topological properties of bound pairs of photons in spatially-modulated qubit arrays coupled to a waveguide.
For open boundary condition, we find exotic topological bound-pair edge states with radiative losses.
By joining two structures with different spatial modulations, we find long-lived interface states which may have applications in storage and quantum information processing.

- Abstract: We study topological properties of bound pairs of photons in
spatially-modulated qubit arrays (arrays of two-level atoms) coupled to a
waveguide. While bound pairs behave like Bloch waves, they are topologically
nontrivial in the parameter space formed by the center-of-mass momentum and the
modulation phase, where the latter plays the role of a synthetic dimension. In
a superlattice where each unit cell contains three two-level atoms (qubits), we
calculate the Chern numbers for the bound-state photon bands, which are found
to be $(1,-2,1)$. For open boundary condition, we find exotic topological
bound-pair edge states with radiative losses. Unlike the conventional case of
the bulk-edge correspondence, these novel edge modes not only exist in gaps
separating the bound-pair bands, but they also may merge with and penetrate
into the bands. By joining two structures with different spatial modulations,
we find long-lived interface states which may have applications in storage and
quantum information processing.

We study the spectrum of excitations of a two-dimensional, planar honeycomb lattice of two-level atoms coupled by the in-plane electromagnetic field.
We establish the conditions of band gap opening, compute the width of the gap, and characterize its topological property by a topological index (Chern number)
A larger $d$ allows for propagating optical modes that are built up due to reflections at the cavity mirrors and have frequencies inside the band gap of the free-standing lattice, thus closing the latter.

For a spinless quantum particle in a one-dimensional box or an electromagnetic wave in a one-dimensional cavity, the respective Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions both lead to non-degenerate wave functions.
In two spatial dimensions, the symmetry of the box or microstrip antenna is an important feature that has often been overlooked in the literature.

We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.
