• Abstract: What is the role of topology in the propagation of quantum light in photonic lattices? We address this question by studying the propagation of squeezed states in a topological one-dimensional waveguide array, benchmarking our results with those for a topologically trivial localized state, and studying their robustness against disorder. Specifically, we study photon statistics, one-mode and two-mode squeezing, and entanglement generation when the localized state is excited with squeezed light. These quantum properties inherit the shape of the localized state but, more interestingly, and unlike in the topologically trivial case, we find that propagation of squeezed light in a topologically protected state robustly preserves the phase of the squeezed quadrature as the system evolves. We show how this latter topological advantage can be harnessed for quantum information protocols.

  We propose the use of collective states of matter as a resource for the deterministic generation of quantum states of light. Photon-mediated interactions between the emitters result in the emergence of bright and dark states. We demonstrate that sequential application of these gates leads to the generation of photonic entangled states.

• Topological argument for robustness of coherent states in quantum optics [0.0]
  Coherent states are robust against photon loss and do not easily get entangled upon interaction with a beamsplitter. Here we provide insights into a topological argument for their robustness using two separate but exact mappings of a prototypical quantum optics model. Our theory sheds light on a fundamental reason for the robustness of coherent states, both in existence and entanglement.

  We show how photon-mediated interactions give rise to a plaquette-ordered bond pattern in the atomic ground state. The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states. Our work shows how atomic quantum simulators can be harnessed to investigate novel strongly-correlated topological phenomena.

We construct one and two-dimensional Fock-state lattices where topological transport of zero-energy states, strain induced pseudo-Landau levels, valley Hall effect and Haldane chiral edge currents are demonstrated. Our study extends the topological states of light to the quantum regime, bridges topological phases of condensed matter physics with circuit quantum electrodynamics, and offers a new freedom in controlling the quantum states of multiple resonators.
