(1)首次观测到了光和声的Zitterbewegung效应 (PRL100, 113903; PRL101, 264303)，证明了相对论量子力学中一个长期的理论预言，Nature China的研究亮点（Research Highlight）上撰文《Photonics: Seeing trembles》（作者：Tim Reid）专门报道了这一工作，Nature上的研究论文也对这些工作做了很好的引用和评述，目前论文已被SCI引用了450余次。

(2)首次在光子准晶和声子晶体中观察到了负折射现象(PRL94, 247402；APL85, 341)，论文发表不久，很快被世界著名的physicsweb (Physics World)以新闻Story的形式作了报道。目前论文已被SCI引用了560余次。

(3)基于高维轨道角动量纠缠态，实现了高维量子全息和图像安全加密, 观测到了高维量子steering效应，证明了噪声抑制现象的理论预言; 利用单光子和纠缠双光子在实验上首次观察到了量子Talbot效应，更正了过去人们在量子成像研究方面一些错误认识(PRL130, 053602; PRL126, 090504; PRL120, 030401; PRL107, 033902).

(4) 基于光量子行走平台, 实验上观测到拓扑保护的反常边界态, 实现了完美纠缠态的传输和转化, 设计并实验实现了拓扑保护的纠缠态手性开关和鲁棒量子纠缠态产生 (PRL121, 100501; LSA 13, 167；LPR14, 2000092；LPR16, 202100519; LPR18, 202300794)。

(5)优化设计并制备出了目前国际上最小的介电全光逻辑芯片和光量子逻辑门，基于这些通用量子逻辑门，我们设计出了用于实现任意两量子比特信息处理的硅基光量子回路，相比之前的量子光回路，这个回路的尺寸缩小了4个数量级(Sci. Adv. 9, adg6685)。进一步，我们设计并制备出了拓扑保护的CNOT门和Hadamard门，并证明了其拥有高效率和鲁棒性(Adv. Mater. 36，202311611)。

(6) 基于Wannier类型的零维拓扑角态，设计并制备出了具有高品质因子和小模式体积的二维拓扑光子晶体微腔，观测到了基于拓扑角态的低阈值激光，其激光阈值仅为1个微瓦，比目前利用拓扑边界态实现的拓扑激光要小三个数量级左右。利用硅光子芯片上的耦合环形谐振器理论设计并实验制备了双曲光拓扑绝缘体和双曲拓扑量子光源。与欧氏拓扑量子光源相比，双曲拓扑量子光源需要更少的资源(即环形谐振器的数量)可达到相同的亮度水平(LSA 9, 109; Nat. Commun. 15, 1647; Adv. Sci. 12, 2417708)。

(7)首次提出并设计了光学moiré连续谱束缚态(BIC)，显著增强了能带在广角范围内的Q值与鲁棒性。首次提出“光学连续谱准束缚平带”（Bound flat-bands in the continuum, BFICs）新概念，即全能带模式均具有高品质因子且无色散的新奇光学模式，突破传统准BIC激发角度制约。建立了非阿贝尔拓扑BIC理论，基于BIC, 证明了低损耗、高光-物质耦合效率的量子存储(PRL128, 253901; PRL132, 046601; Nat. Commun. 15, 9080; Nat. Commun. 16, 10835; Sci. Adv. 11, eadu0976)。

(8) 基于凝聚态物理系统中晶格与电子线路网络的一致性，设计了不同功能的经典电路并在实验上首次观察到了三维八极拓扑态，四维十六极拓扑态以及高阶安德森拓扑态等。进一步证明了依赖于初始赝自旋的逆安德森相变。这些工作充分证明了电路系统可以被用来观察在其它(经典和量子)系统中很难实现的新奇现象 (PRL126, 146802；PRB100, 201406(R); PRB102,100102(R); PRL130, 206401 (Editors' Suggestion)).
