Photonic simulation of topological superconductor edge state and zero-energy mode at a vortex

Photonic simulations of quantum Hall edge states and topological insulators have inspired considerable interest in recent years. Interestingly, there are theoretical predictions for another type of topological states in topological superconductors, but debates over their experimental observations st...
