Topological edge modes are excitations that are localized at the materials' edges and yet are characterized by a topological invariant defined in the bulk. Such bulk-edge correspondence has enabled the creation of robust electronic,…
The Chern topological numbers of a material system are traditionally written in terms of the Berry curvature which depends explicitly on the material band structure and on the Bloch eigenwaves. Here, we demonstrate that it is possible to…
The classification of bandstructures by topological invariants provides a powerful tool for understanding phenomena such as the quantum Hall effect. This classification was originally developed in the context of electrons, but can also be…
We study the Dirac Hamiltonian in dimension two with a mass term and a large momentum regularization, and show that bulk-edge correspondence fails. Despite a well defined bulk topological index --the Chern number--, the number of edge modes…
A group of novel materials can be mapped to the star lattice, which exhibits some novel physical properties. We give the bulk-edge correspondence theory of the star lattice and study the edge states and their topological orders in different…

Non-Hermitian systems exhibit striking exceptions from the paradigmatic bulk-boundary correspondence, including the failure of bulk Bloch band invariants in predicting boundary states and the (dis)appearance of boundary states at parameter…
In this study, we discuss a new type of bulk-boundary correspondence which holds for topological insulators and superconductors when the parity-time ($PT$) and/or parity-particle-hole ($PC$) symmetry are present. In these systems, even when…
We study the topological properties of one-dimensional discrete-time quantum walks with Fibonacci quasiperiodic modulation. Spectral analysis under open boundary conditions reveals isolated edge modes that coexist at both zero and $\pi$…
Topological photonics provides a powerful framework to describe and understand many nontrivial wave phenomena in complex electromagnetic platforms. The topological index of a physical system is an abstract global property that depends on…

Floquet topological insulators describe independent electrons on a lattice driven out of equilibrium by a time-periodic Hamiltonian, beyond the usual adiabatic approximation. In dimension two such systems are characterized by integer-valued…
We show that two-dimensional band insulators, with vanishing bulk polarization, obey bulk-and-edge to corner charge correspondence stating that the knowledge of the bulk and the two corresponding ribbon band structures uniquely determines…
In Hermitian systems, according to the bulk-edge correspondence interfacing two topological optical media with different bulk topological numbers implies the existence of edge states, which can trap light at the interface. However, such a…
Bulk-edge correspondence is one of the most distinct properties of topological insulators. In particular, the 1D winding number $\n$ has a one-to-one correspondence to the number of edge states in a chain of topological insulators with…
A striking feature of non-Hermitian systems is the presence of two different types of topology. One generalizes Hermitian topological phases, and the other is intrinsic to non-Hermitian systems, which are called line-gap topology and…
We study a topological physics in a one-dimensional nonlinear system by taking an instance of a mechanical rotator model with alternating spring constants. This nonlinear model is smoothly connected to an acoustic model described by the…
We describe the formation of bulk and edge arcs in the dispersion relation of two-dimensional coupled-resonator arrays that are topologically trivial in the hermitian limit. Each resonator provides two asymmetrically coupled internal modes,…
The Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of photons has been realized in one- and two-dimensional systems. When considering the influence of finite-size effect, the condensation in the one-dimensional fibre is of special interest since such a…
We focus on a scenario of non-Hermitian bulk--boundary correspondence that uses a topological invariant defined in a bulk geometry under a modified periodic boundary condition. Although this has succeeded in describing the topological…
