We show how a chiral Dirac fermion (a massless electron or hole) can be converted into a pair of neutral chiral Majorana fermions (a particle equal to its own antiparticle). These two types of fermions exist on the metallic surface of a…
The bulk-edge correspondence principle, a cornerstone of topological physics, ensures that first-order topological systems host robust chiral edge states in two dimension. This was later extended to higher-order phases, where second-order…
Let $\boldsymbol{X}=\{X_{k}\}_{k=0}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of compact metric spaces $X_{k}$ and $\boldsymbol{T}=\{T_{k}\}_{k=0}^{\infty}$ a sequence of continuous mappings $T_{k}:X_{k} \to X_{k+1}$. The pair…
Odd-frequency Cooper pairs with chiral symmetry emerging at the edges of topological superconductors are a useful physical quantity for characterizing the topological properties of these materials. In this work, we show that the…
The topological R\'enyi and entanglement entropies depend on the bipartition of the manifold and the choice of the ground states. However, these entanglement quantities remain invariant under a coordinate transformation when the bipartition…

We report here a study of reversible pressure-induced structural transformation between two amorphous forms of SO$_2$: molecular at pressures below 26 GPa and polymeric above this pressure, at temperatures of 77 - 300 K. The transformation…
Vibrational overtones in deeply bound molecules are sensitive probes for variation of the proton-to-electron mass ratio $\mu$. In nonpolar molecules, these overtones may be driven as two-photon transitions. Here, we present procedures for…
Two flows defined on a smooth manifold are equivalent if there exists a homeomorphism of the manifold that sends each orbit of one flow onto an orbit of the other flow while preserving the time orientation. The topological entropy of a flow…
Recent work (PRX 7, 041008) has shown that a spin coupled to two externally supplied circularly-polarized electromagnetic modes can effectuate a topological, quantized transfer of photons from one mode to the other. Here we study the effect…
The thermodynamical properties of a system of two coupled harmonic oscillators in the presence of an uniform magnetic field B are investigated. Using an unitary transformation, we show that the system can be diagonalized in simple way and…
It is known that if $f: \mathbb{S}^{1} \rightarrow \mathbb{S}^{1}$ is a transitive $C^{1+\alpha}$-local diffeomorphism non-invertible and non-uniformly expanding, then there is a unique parameter $t_{0} \in (0 , 1]$ such that the…
The switching of electric polarization induced by electric fields -a fundamental functionality of ferroelectrics- is closely associated with the motions of the domain walls that separate regions with distinct polarization directions.…
We show that an interacting two-spin model subjected to two circularly polarized drives enables a feasible realization of a correlated topological phase in synthetic dimensions. The topological observable is given by a quantized frequency…
Resonant parametric modulation is a major tool of studying magnetic systems. For a spin-1/2 chain in a strong magnetic field, the resulting excitations can be mapped on fermionic excitations in the Kitaev chain. We show that the response to…
We study topological transitions in one dimensional superconductors that can harbor multiple edge Majorana bound states protected by chiral symmetry. The chiral symmetry arises due to the structure of the internal spin degrees of freedom of…
