Topological Light in a Silicon Chip (IMAGE) Joint Quantum Institute Caption This is an artistic rendering of real data and real SEM image (false colored) from experiment. The lit resonators show light racing around the edge of the silicon chip unimpeded, avoiding defects (here a missing resonator). Credit Credit: E. Edwards/JQI.
