Quantum spin-Hall effect, a manifestation of topological properties that govern the behavior of surface states, was studied intensively in condensed matter physics resulting in the discovery of topological insulators. The quantum spin-Hall effect of light was introduced for surface plane-waves which intrinsically carry transverse optical spin, leading to many intriguing phenomena and applications in unidirectional waveguiding, metrology and quantum technologies. In addition to spin, optical… CONTINUE READING
