Liquid crystal microcavities offer a tunable platform for emulating solid-state phenomena. By hosting a uniform lying helix texture, our system creates a dimerized lattice with voltage-controlled interactions that enable the engineering of synthetic topological Hamiltonians, facilitating controllable topological photonic devices.
