Abstract
Metamaterial theory provides the ability to engineer a custom designed photonic background, which in combination with topological protection will be robust with respect to fluctuations through the intrinsic non-linearity, fabrication imperfections, and thermal noise. We link our recently established group-theoretical approach for topological Weyl materials with a novel quantum-Maxwell-Bloch simulation platform to design and characterise a topologically protected fully three-dimensional epsilon-and-mu-near-zero (phase-locked) nano-plasmonic background for photons. This opens up unique opportunities to achieve optical coherence of quantum emitters at room temperature and to design new lasing states and strong coupling of photon emitters in innovative environments with topological protection against nanoscale structural material disorder.
