optical transitions in the system on both the fabrication parameters and the parameters of system itself. During the first year of the project, we shall work on optical transitions in photonic lattices with [...] geometry. Since the paraxial wave equation, which describes the propagation of light through the waveguide array, is mathematically equivalent to the Schrödinger equation, describing the time-evolution [...] coupled waveguides. Using a particular arrangement of the waveguides allows the emulation of the famous Gross-Neveu model, which in turn is the basis for the analysis of new fermonic states of matter. Diamond
