We study the effect on the chiral edge states by including a nonlinearity to a Chern insulator which has two chiral edge states with opposite chiralities. We explore a quench dynamics by giving a pulse to one site on an edge and analyzing…
The observation of chirality is ubiquitous in nature. Contrary to intuition, the population of opposite chiralities is surprisingly asymmetric at fundamental levels. Examples range from parity violation in the subatomic weak force to the…
Chirality is a fundamental symmetry concept describing discrete states, i.e., left-handed, right-handed, or achiral, and existing at disparate scales and in many categories of scientific fields. Even though symmetry breaking is…
