• Quantum matter built from nanoscopic lattices of atoms and photons (2018, background): “A principal manifestation of such topological phases is the existence of edge states that support directional transport and are robust against disorder (Lu, Joannopoulos, and Soljacic, 2014, 2016).”
• Twisted photons: new quantum perspectives in high dimensions (2017, background): “Those generalized geometric phases introduced by Berry [99] play a key role in solid-state physics, such as the description of the quantum Hall effect [100] (see also [101]).”
• Observation of quadrupole transitions and edge mode topology in an LC circuit network (2018, methodology): “In this paper we report an observation of a higherorder topological transition in a quadrupole topological insulator implemented in a LC circuit model, following conventional strategies to extend the concepts of charge polarization to photonic [22] and phononic [13, 17] metamaterials.”
