Overview

Topological quantum chemistry analysis reveals trivial edge topology in Wu-Hu photonic metamaterials, highlighting fragile topology as an alternative design.

Key Points

  • Waveguided edge modes in the Wu-Hu model cannot host robust helical states, because the photonic metamaterials are topologically trivial higher-order insulators.
  • Analyses using topological quantum chemistry tools reveal that the Wu-Hu model is a higher-order topological photonic insulator rather than a Z2 crystalline insulator.
  • Highlights the necessity of incorporating quantum geometry and fragile topology to realize truly robust bosonic states across polaritonic and photonic platforms.
