| Popis: | Topological quantum optics, an emerging area of study, holds the potential to bring about substantial enhancements for integrated quantum devices. Here we propose integrated topological quantum devices performing various functions including optical parametric amplification, frequency division, and frequency entangled biphoton generation. We show two distinct edge modes corresponding to different frequency ranges in both sandwich kagome and honeycomb topological designs that emulate the quantum valley Hall effect. These two topological edge modes enable two types of optical parametric processes through four-wave mixing, specifically inter-band and intra-band cases. The devices emulating photonic valley-Hall insulators allow the frequency division of two transverse modes, and furthermore, enable the separation of two quantum functionalities - optical parametric amplification and frequency entangled biphoton state generation. More importantly, the parametric processes are inborn topological protected, showing robustness against sharp bends and disorders. Our proposal significantly widens the possibilities for robust, multifunctional topological quantum devices on-chip, which may find applications in quantum information processing.
