Topological phase transitions and chiral inelastic transport induced by the squeezing of light

Most known topological states of light are in the end closely analogous to fermionic states. Here, the authors show that the squeezing of light can lead to the formation of photonic topological states which do not have any fermionic counterpart yet support unusual chiral edge states.
