Thouless pumping is a transport phenomenon where a periodically varying Hamiltonian can transfer a quantized amount of charge when the time-dependence of the Hamiltonian is quasi-adiabatic. Past proposals to speed up this process involving…
Thouless pumping, the quantized transport of particles in a cyclic adiabatic evolution, faces a challenge: slow driving may exceed the coherent time, while fast driving may break quantization. To address this dilemma, we propose to speed up…
A Thouless pump is a slowly driven one-dimensional band insulator which pumps charge at a quantised rate. Previous work showed that pumping persists in weakly disordered chains, and separately in clean chains at finite drive frequency. We…
