Measuring topological invariants in small photonic lattices

We present a robust practical scheme for measuring the topological invariants of non-interacting tight-binding models realized in arrays of coupled photonic cavities. More specifically, we aim to focus on the implementation of a single unit cell with tunable twisted boundary conditions in order to a...
