Title: Nonlinear topological photonics

 
LPMMC, Room G421

 

Abstract: QuantAlps Lecture II: In the previous lecture, I discussed non-interacting photonic Chern insulators with chiral edge states. In this lecture I’ll consider the case when we turn on interactions between the photons at the mean-field level, or in other words, optical nonlinearity. Topics will include bulk and edge state solitons, as well as integer and fractional quantization of transport in photonic Thouless pumps. Note: Coffee and pastries will be served at the break.
