Claims

C1strongest claim

By concatenating three superlattices with alternating topology, we realize two coupled interface states that hybridize into symmetric and antisymmetric modes, whose splitting can be tuned over tens of gigahertz by varying the reflectivity of the central DBR.

C2weakest assumption

The assumption that the interface states remain strongly localized and their hybridization is dominated by the topological band inversion and central DBR reflectivity, without significant effects from fabrication disorder, interface roughness, or non-topological scattering in the real structures.

C3one line summary

Coupled topological interface states in GaAs/AlAs superlattices form phonon molecules with tunable splitting and narrow minibands.
