Exotic topological states of matter such as Floquet topological insulator or Floquet Weyl semimetal can be induced by periodic driving. This work proposes a Floquet semimetal with Floquet-band holonomy. That is, the system is gapless, but…
Motivated by the recent twisted MoTe$_2$ experiment [arXiv:2601.18508], we develop a disordered interacting edge theory of a fractional topological insulator at $\nu_{\text{tot}}=4/3$, consisting of two time-reversal-conjugated $\nu=2/3$…
It was known that for non-Hermitian topological systems due to the non-Hermitian skin effect, the bulk-edge correspondence is broken down. In this paper, by using one-dimensional Su-SchriefferHeeger model and two-dimensional (deformed)…
We experimentally observe a coexisting pair of topological anomalous Floquet interface states in a (1+1)-dimensional Discrete Photon Walk. We explicitly verify the robustness of these states against local static perturbations respecting…
Topological insulators are crystalline materials that have revolutionized our ability to control wave transport. They provide us with unidirectional channels that are immune to obstacles, defects or local disorder, and can even survive some…
We report on a topological insulating state in a heavy-fermion system away from half-filling, which is hidden within a ferromagnetic metallic phase. In this phase, the cooperation of the RKKY interaction and the Kondo effect, together with…
Periodically driven non-Hermitian systems can exhibit rich topological band structure and non-Hermitian skin effect, without analogs in their static or Hermitian counterparts. In this work we investigate the exceptional band-touching points…
