This work is a proposition of an experimental platform to observe quantum fictitious anticentrifugal force. We present an analytical and numerical treatment of a rectangular toroidal dielectric waveguide. Solving the Helmholtz equation, we obtain analytical solutions for transverse spatial modes and estimate their number as a function of system characteristics. On top of that, the analysis of the structure is extended onto a real material platform, a thin-film lithium niobate on insulator rib waveguide. The framework presented here can be applied directly to analyze the phenomenon of quantum anticentrifugal force.
