Topological edge states appear at the interface of topologically distinct two Hermitian insulators. We study the extension of this idea to non-Hermitian systems. We consider PT symmetric and topologically distinct non-Hermitian insulators…
Topological phases supported by quasi-periodic spin-chain models and their bulk-boundary principles are investigated by numerical and K-theoretic methods. We show that, for both the un-correlated and correlated phases, the operator algebras…

A periodically driven quantum Hall system in a fixed magnetic field is found to exhibit a series of phases featuring anomalous edge modes with the "wrong" chirality. This leads to pairs of counter-propagating chiral edge modes at each edge,…
Topological edge states in systems of two (or more) dimensions offer scattering-free transport, exhibiting robustness to inhomogeneities and disorder. In a different domain, time-modulated systems, such as photonic time crystals (PTCs),…
We consider the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain, which has 0, 1, or 2 topological edge states depending on the ratio of the hopping parameters and the parity of the chain length. We couple a qubit to one edge of the SSH chain and a…
It has been found previously that the presence or absence of topological edge states in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model has a huge impact on harmonic generation spectra. More specifically, the yield of harmonics for harmonic orders…

Periodically driven quantum systems can exhibit subharmonic response, usually characterized through physical observables and often discussed in interacting settings. Here we show that a sharp subharmonic signature already appears in the…
We show that one-dimensional quasi-periodic optical lattice systems can exhibit edge states and topological phases which are generally believed to appear in two-dimensional systems. When the Fermi energy lies in gaps, the Fermi system on…
Novel topological properties that arose in the periodically driven system are unique, in which there are two kinds of quasienergy gaps, the zero quasienergy gap and the $\pi$ quasienergy gap. The corresponding edge modes would traverse…
