Quantized angular momentum in topological optical systems

The Chern index characterizes the topological phases of nonreciprocal photonic systems. Unlike in electronics, the photonic Chern number has no clear physical meaning, except that it determines the number of unidirectional edge states supported by an interface with a trivial mirror. Here, we fill in...
