Photonic Topological States in a Two-Dimensional Gyrotropic Photonic Crystal

Time-reversal symmetry (TRS) of electrons is associated with an anti-unitary operator with T 2 = − 1 , which induces Kramers degeneracy and plays an important role in realizing the quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE). By contrast, TRS of photons is described by T b 2 = 1 . We...
