Topological insulators were originally discovered for electron waves in condensed matter systems. Recently this concept has been transferred to bosonic systems such as photons and phonons, which propagate materials patterned with artificial lattices that emulate spin-Hall physics. This work motivated, part, by the prospect of topologically protected transport along edge channels on-chip circuits. Importantly, even principle, topology protects propagation against backscattering, but not loss,...

Faithful quantum state transfer between telecom photons and microwave frequency mechanical oscillations necessitate a fast conversion rate low thermal noise. Two-dimensional (2D) optomechanical crystals (OMCs) are favorable candidates that satisfy those requirements. 2D OMCs enable sufficiently high (1∼10 GHz) to make the resolved-sideband regime achievable, prerequisite for many protocols. It also supports higher conductance than 1D structures, mitigating parasitic laser absorption heating....
