We study topological charge pumping in one-dimensional quasiperiodic systems. Since these systems lack periodicity, we cannot use the conventional approach based on the topological Chern number defined in the momentum space. Here, we…
The fractionally charged quasiparticles appearing in the 5/2 fractional quantum Hall plateau are predicted to have an extra non-local degree of freedom, known as topological charge. We show how this topological charge can block the…

The topological properties of the quantum Hall effect in a crystalline lattice, described by Chern numbers of the Hofstadter butterfly quantum phase diagram, are deduced by using a geometrical method to generate the structure of…
The Fibonacci chain, i.e., a tight-binding model where couplings and/or on-site potentials can take only two different values distributed according to the Fibonacci word, is a classical example of a one-dimensional quasicrystal. With its…
We describe a quasiperiodic optical lattice, created by a physical realization of the abstract cut-and-project construction underlying all quasicrystals. The resulting potential is a generalization of the Fibonacci tiling. Calculation of…
The distinctive electronic properties of quasicrystals stem from their long range structural order, with invariance under rotations and under discrete scale change, but without translational invariance. d-dimensional quasicrystals can be…
We use the quantum metric to understand the properties of quasicrystals, represented by the one-dimensional (1D) Fibonacci chain. We show that the quantum metric can relate the localization properties of the eigenstates to the…
Due to the absence of periodic length scale, electronic states and their topological properties in quasicrystals have been barely understood. Here, we focus on one dimensional quasicrystal and reveal that their electronic critical states…
The topology of two-dimensional materials traditionally manifests itself through the quantization of the Hall conductance, which is revealed in transport measurements. Recently, it was predicted that topology can also give rise to a…
Few level quantum systems driven by $n_\mathrm{f}$ incommensurate fundamental frequencies exhibit temporal analogues of non-interacting phenomena in $n_\mathrm{f}$ spatial dimensions, a consequence of the generalisation of Floquet theory in…
At partial filling of a flat band, strong electronic interactions may favor gapped states harboring emergent topology with quantized Hall conductivity. Emergent topological states have been found in partially filled Landau levels and…
Topological quantum phases cannot be characterized by Ginzburg-Landau type order parameters, and are instead described by non-local topological invariants. Experimental platforms capable of realizing such exotic states now include…
We study the single-particle spectral properties of electrons coupled to quasicritical charge and spin fluctuations close to a stripe-phase, which is governed by a Quantum Critical Point near optimum doping. We find that spectral weight is…
