摘要:

物质的拓扑状态特别强大,因为它们利用了对局部扰动不敏感的全局特征。在这项工作中,我们描述了如何创建一个陈绝缘体的声子在固态。所提出的实施方案是基于一个简单的设置,一个电介质板与一个合适的模式的孔。它的拓扑性质可以通过调节控制光与声之间的光机械相互作用的驱动激光的振幅和频率来原位完全调谐。由此产生的手性,拓扑保护声子沿边缘的运输可以完全光学探测。此外,我们确定了一个政权之间的光子和声子激发,这引起了一个大的不同的拓扑相位的强混合。这将是一个陈氏绝缘体的例子,它是由两种物理上非常不同的粒子种类(光子和声子)之间的相互作用产生的。

英文摘要:

Topological states of matter are particularly robust, since they exploit global features insensitive to local perturbations. In this work, we describe how to create a Chern insulator of phonons in the solid state. The proposed implementation is based on a simple setting, a dielectric slab with a suitable pattern of holes. Its topological properties can be wholly tuned in-situ by adjusting the amplitude and frequency of a driving laser that controls the optomechanical interaction between light and sound. The resulting chiral, topologically protected phonon transport along the edges can be probed completely optically. Moreover, we identify a regime of strong mixing between photon and phonon excitations, which gives rise to a large set of different topological phases. This would be an example of a Chern insulator produced from the interaction between two physically very different particle species, photons and phonons.
