In this study, we discuss a new type of bulk-boundary correspondence which holds for topological insulators and superconductors when the parity-time ($PT$) and/or parity-particle-hole ($PC$) symmetry are present. In these systems, even when…

Dynamical quantum phase transitions occur in dynamically evolving quantum systems when non-analyticities occur at critical times in the return rate, a dynamical analogue of the free energy. This extension of the concept of phase transitions…

The bulk-edge correspondence (BEC) is the hallmark of topological systems. In continuous (nonlattice) Hermitian systems with an unbounded wave vector, it was recently shown that the BEC of Chern insulators is modified. How would it be…
