科学》杂志审稿人高度评价这一工作，认为这一工作“是利用相互作用光子进行量子模拟的重大进展”(a significant advance in quantum simulation with interacting photons)，“一种新颖的局域单点控制和自底而上的途径”(a novel form of local control and bottom-up approach)，“有潜力为实现非阿贝尔拓扑态开辟一条新的途径，这是利用二维电子气材料的传统方法很难探测的”(potentially open new pathways for realizing non-Abelian topological states, which have been extremely challenging to probe in two-dimensional electron gases)。
