A deeper understanding of the role of topology in condensed matter physics has led to a new paradigm of topological phases of matter, for example, the topological insulators. While insulating in their bulk, these systems host conducting states at their boundaries that are chiral and, therefore, robust against disorders. Spurred by this chirality and robustness, photonic systems have recently emerged as an attractive platform for simulations of various condensed matter topological model systems, for example, the integer quantum Hall effect.
