Recent progress in fabricating hybrid optical nanostructures allowed engineering novel interesting states of light. We show that using certain nanostructures one can create strongly correlated states of photons in a controllable way. They are protected by a topological character of the chiral edge propagation which is possible in certain photonic crystals. The properties of these states are discussed in this talk.
