Topological behavior has been observed in quantum systems including ultracold atoms. However, background harmonic traps for cold-atoms hinder direct detection of topological edge states arising at the boundary because the distortion fuses…
The existence of flat bands is generally thought to be physically possible only for dimensions larger than one. However, by exciting a system with different orthogonal states this condition can be reformulated. In this work, we demonstrate…
