• Title: Disorder-Protected Quantum State Transmission through Helical Coupled-Resonator Waveguides
• Abstract summary: H-CROWs exhibit a pseudospin-momentum locked dispersion, which we show suppresses onsite disorder-induced backscattering and group velocity fluctuations. As indistinguishability is the most fundamental resource of quantum information processing, H-CROWs may find applications for the implementation of robust optical links and delay lines.

• Abstract: We predict the preservation of temporal indistinguishability of photons propagating through helical coupled-resonator optical waveguides (H-CROWs). H-CROWs exhibit a pseudospin-momentum locked dispersion, which we show suppresses onsite disorder-induced backscattering and group velocity fluctuations. We simulate numerically the propagation of two-photon wavepackets, demonstrating that they exhibit almost perfect Hong-Ou-Mandel dip visibility and then can preserve their quantum coherence even in the presence of moderate disorder, in contrast to regular CROWs which are highly sensitive to disorder. As indistinguishability is the most fundamental resource of quantum information processing, H-CROWs may find applications for the implementation of robust optical links and delay lines in the emerging quantum photonic communication and computational platforms.

Such generation can be interpreted as a dynamical Casimir effect. We demonstrate numerically and analytically how the emission directionality and photon-photon correlations can be controlled by the phases of the modulation.
