A proposal of the existence of an {\em Anomalous} phase ($\mathcal{A}$ phase) [https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.056202 Das et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 056202 (2023)] at the experimental range of moderate…
Topological phases, quite generally, are difficult to come by. They either occur under rather extreme conditions (e.g. the quantum Hall liquids, which require high sample purity, strong magnetic fields and low temperatures) or demand fine…
Discrete-time quantum walks have been shown to simulate all known topological phases in one and two dimensions. Being periodically driven quantum systems, their topological description, however, is more complex than that of closed…
