Abstract

We have designed different honeycomb lattices for microwave photons in the 4 to 8 GHz band using superconducting spiral resonators. Each lattice comprises a few hundred sites. Two designs have been studied, one leading to two bands touching at the Dirac points and one where a gap opens at the Dirac points. Using a scanning laser technique to image the eigenmodes of these photonic lattices, we are able to reconstruct their band structure. The measured bands are in excellent agreement with ab initio models that combine numerical simulations of the electromagnetic properties of the spiral resonator and analytical calculations.
