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…

In this letter we show how the topological number of a static Hamiltonian can be measured from a dynamical quench process. We focus on a two-band Chern insulator in two-dimension, for instance, the Haldane model, whose dynamical process can…

Motivated by recent developments in quantum simulation of synthetic dimensions, e.g. in optical lattices of ultracold atoms, we discuss here $d$-dimensional periodic, gapped quantum systems for $d \le 4$, with focus on the topology of the…

We numerically investigate the topological phase transition induced purely by disorder in a spring-mass chain. We employ two types of disorders - chiral and random types - to explore the interplay between topology and disorder. By tracking…

Synthetic dimensions can be rendered in the physical space and this has been achieved with photonics and cold atomic gases, however, little to no work has been succeeded in acoustics because acoustic wave-guides cannot be weakly coupled in…

Chern numbers can be calculated within a frame of vortex fields related to phase conventions of a wave function. In a band protected by gaps the Chern number is equivalent to the total number of flux carrying vortices. In the presence of…
