Quantum graphs provide an analytically tractable setting for the study of Chern numbers and band degeneracies in periodic systems. We study the Chern numbers of energy bands in a two-dimensional square lattice quantum graph. We approach the…
Topological Chern indices are related to the number of rotational states in each molecular vibrational band. Modification of the indices is associated to the appearance of ``band degeneracies'', and exchange of rotational states between two…
