• Authors: B. X. Wang and C. Y. Zhao
• Abstract summary: We study high-order topological quantum optics in an ultracold atom metasurface intended to mimic the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. We find the existence of long-range interactions beyond nearest-neighbor ones leads to isolated corner states in the band gap. We show a corner atom can be addressed by a laser drive far away from it via these nontrivial states.

• Abstract: Ultracold atom arrays in optical lattices emerge as an excellent playground for the integration of topological photonics and quantum optics. Here, we study high-order topological quantum optics in an ultracold atom metasurface intended to mimic the two-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. We find the existence of long-range interactions beyond nearest-neighbor ones leads to isolated corner states in the band gap, and show a corner atom can be addressed by a laser drive far away from it via these nontrivial states. We demonstrate the Purcell factor can be used as a powerful tool to examine the existence of topological edge and corner states. We predict topological edge states can mediate strong coherent interactions between two remote impurity quantum emitters while suppressing dissipative losses thanks to the higher-order topology, generating robust and long-lived quantum entanglement, without the need for additional photonic structures.

  Controlled molecular entanglement can serve as a test-bench to decipher more complex physical or biological mechanisms governed by the coherent coupling. We implement hyperspectral imaging to identify pairs of coupled organic molecules trapped in a low temperature matrix. We also demonstrate far-field selective excitation of the long-lived subradiant delocalized states with a laser field tailored in amplitude and phase.
