Proof of the Bulk-Edge Correspondence through a Link between Topological Photonics and Fluctuation-Electrodynamics

The bulk-edge correspondence links the Chern topological numbers with the net number of unidirectional states supported at an interface of the relevant materials. This fundamental principle is perhaps the most consequential result of topological photonics, as it determines the precise physical manif...
