We study a one-dimensional plasmonic system with non-trivial topology: a chain of metallic nanoparticles with alternating spacing, which is the plasmonic analogue to the Su-Schreiffer-Heeger model. We extend previous efforts by including…
The coupled-wires approach has been shown to be useful in describing two-dimensional strongly interacting topological phases. In this manuscript we extend this approach to three-dimensions, and construct a model for a fractional strong…
We introduce the topological mirror excitonic insulator as a new type of interacting topological crystalline phase in one dimension. Its mirror-symmetry-protected topological properties are driven by exciton physics, and it manifests in the…
We report the first observation of lasing in topological edge states in a 1D Su-Schrieffer-Heeger active array of resonators. We show that in the presence of chiral-time ($\mathcal{CT}$) symmetry, this non-Hermitian topological structure…

We study the ordered "excitonic" states which develop around the quantum critical point (QCP) associated with the electronic topological transition (ETT) in a 2D electron system on a square lattice. We consider the case of hopping beyond…

Non-Hermitian systems can host topological states with novel topological invariants and bulk-edge correspondences that are distinct from conventional Hermitian systems. Here we show that two unique classes of non-Hermitian 2D topological…

Dimensional evolution between one- ($1D$) and two-dimensional ($2D$) topological phases is investigated systematically. The crossover from a $2D$ topological insulator to its $1D$ limit shows oscillating behavior between a $1D$ ordinary…
Considering one-dimensional nonminimally-coupled lattice gauge theories, a class of nonlocal one-dimensional systems is presented, which exhibits a phase transition. It is shown that the transition has a latent heat, and, therefore, is a…
The spontaneous breaking of time-reversal symmetry due to purely-orbital mechanisms (i.e.~not involving spin degrees of freedom) yields extremely exotic phases of matter such as Chern insulators and chiral superconductors. In this Letter,…
Excitons are spin integer particles that are predicted to condense into a coherent quantum state at sufficiently low temperature, and exciton condensates can be realized at much higher temperature than condensates of atoms because of strong…
We apply the topological theory of symmetry indicators to interaction-induced exciton band structures in centrosymmetric semiconductors. Crucially, we distinguish between the topological invariants inherited from the underlying electron and…
We investigate the topological properties of a resonantly shaken one-dimensional optical lattice system, where the lattice position is periodically driven with two harmonic frequencies to generate one- and two-photon couplings between the…
