Overview:
Tremendous recent progress has been made in implementing topological phases of light using metamaterials, photonic crystals, and photonic lattices. The aim of this workshop is to explore innovative approaches for integrating topological phases and robust edge states with nonlinear, anisotropic, dispersive, or quantum photonic systems and promote closer collaboration between theorists and experimentalists working in related fields.

Topics include:
• Topological photonic crystals and lattices
• Geometric and topological phases in crystal optics
• Surface waves of anisotropic media
• Nonlinear and quantum topological photonics
• Novel experimental platforms
