Photonic simulation of TSC band structures.

(a) A combination of electromagnetic duality and handedness inversion of photons mimics particle-hole transformation for electrons. For example, if a right-handed TE mode represent “particle”, a transformed left-handed TM mode can be considered as “hole”. (b,c) Band diagrams for particle-hole symmetric systems (b) without and (c) with px + ipy pairing potential. The px + ipy pairing potential leads to a gap with topological phase.
