| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The goal of the present study is to realize novel transport properties of light, by the analogy to electronic systems such as quantum Hal systems and topological insulators. We have studied photonic crystals made of magnetooptical or magnetoelectric media by the first-principles calculations of the radiation field. Various systems having nontrivial topology in momentum spaces can be realized. As a result, photonic chiral edge states and photonic helical edge states are demonstrated in such systems. In addition, we explain their properties by the symmetries. spin degrees of freedom, and effective hamiltonians.
