Abstract:	Join Zoom Meeting https://technion.zoom.us/j/93133016186 Abstract I will present my group’s recent experimental results on the nonlinear properties of photonic topological protection in waveguide arrays, including the observation of bulk and edge solitons and quantized soliton motion in photonic Thouless pumps. Finally, I will describe our proposal for how photonic topological protection can be used to simultaneously overcome the fundamental obstacles of large backscattering and small bandwidth in slow-light systems.
