The interface between two materials described by spectrally gapped Hamiltonians is expected to host an in-gap interface mode, whenever a certain topological invariant changes across the interface. We provide a precise statement of this…

Epitaxially grown heterogeneous nanowires present dislocations at the interface between the phases if their radius is big. We consider a corresponding variational discrete model with quadratic pairwise atomic interaction energy. By…

We establish the existence of a topological classification of many-particle quantum systems undergoing unitary time evolution. The classification naturally inherits phenomenology familiar from equilibrium -- it is robust against disorder…

Robust edge transport can occur when particles in crystalline lattices interact with an external magnetic field. This system is well described by Bloch's theorem, with the spectrum being composed of bands of bulk states and in-gap edge…

The hallmark feature of topological insulators renders edge transport virtually impervious to scattering at defects and lattice disorder. In our work, we experimentally demonstrate a topological system, using a photonic platform, in which…

We study quantum transport in disordered systems with particle-hole symmetric Hamiltonians. The particle-hole symmetry is spontaneously broken after averaging with respect to disorder, and the resulting massless mode is treated in a…

We consider 1D integrable systems supporting ballistic propagation of excitations, perturbed by a localised defect that breaks most conservation laws and induces chaotic dynamics. Focusing on classical systems, we study an…

Magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) host topologically protected edge states, but the role that these edge states play in electronic transport remains unclear. Using scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID)…

We elucidate that the diffusive systems, which are widely found in nature, can be a new platform of the bulk-edge correspondence, a representative topological phenomenon. Using a discretized diffusion equation, we demonstrate the emergence…

Integrable Hamiltonian systems on almost-symplectic manifolds have recently drawn some attention. Under suitable properties, they have a structure analogous to those of standard symplectic-Hamiltonian completely integrable systems. Here we…
