We show that Majorana fermions (MFs) exist in two- and three-dimensional (2D,3D) fermionic optical lattices with strictly 1D spin-orbit coupling (SOC) which has already been realized in ex- periments. For a quasi-1D topological BCS…
There exists a variety of proposals to transform a conventional s-wave superconductor into a topological superconductor, supporting Majorana fermion mid-gap states. A necessary ingredient of these proposals is strong spin-orbit coupling.…
Majorana bound states are interesting candidates for applications in topological quantum computation. Low energy models allowing to grasp their properties are hence conceptually important. The usual scenario in these models is that two…
Floquet theory describes quantum systems governed by time-periodic Hamiltonians, much as Bloch theory describes spatially periodic solids. In voltage-biased multiterminal Josephson junctions, the Josephson relation causes superconducting…
We study the topology of the Floquet states and time-averaged optical conductivity of the lattice model of a thin topological insulator subject to a circularly polarized light using the extended Kubo formalism. Two driving regimes, the…
Topological phases in quantum and classical systems have been of significant recent interest due to their fascinating physical properties. While a range of different mechanisms to induce topological order have been introduced, a quest for…
Optical conductivity measurements may provide access to distinct signatures of Floquet electronic phases, which are described theoretically by their quasienergy band structures. We characterize experimental observables of the Floquet…
Topological superconductors are exotic gapped phases of matter hosting Majorana mid-gap states on their boundary. In conventional topological superconductors, Majorana in-gap states appear in the form of either localized zero-dimensional…
With significant advances in classifying and cataloguing topological matter, the focus of topological physics has shifted towards quantum control, particularly the creation and manipulation of topological phases of matter. Floquet…
A recently-proposed class of photonic topological insulators is shown to map onto Chalker-Coddington-type networks, which were originally formulated to study disordered quantum Hall systems. Such network models are equivalent to the Floquet…
Photon-assisted charge transport through a double barrier laser structure, separated by a region assisted by a magnetic field, is studied. Employing Floquet theory and matrix formalism, the transmission probabilities for the central band…
We present a method for simulating any non-interacting and time-periodic tight-binding Hamiltonian in Fourier space using electric circuits made of inductors and capacitors. We first map the time-periodic Hamiltonian to a Floquet…
We study a two-dimensional topological system driven out of equilibrium by the application of elliptically polarized light. In particular, we analyze the Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model when it is perturbed using an elliptically polarized light…
Recent experiments in rhombohedral graphene report an unusual superconducting phase emerging from a spin- and valley-polarized quarter-metal state. The prevailing interpretation invokes chiral topological superconductivity, but the role of…
A spatially oscillating pair potential $\Delta(r)=\Delta_0 e^{2i K\cdot r}$ with momentum $K>\Delta_0/\hbar v$ drives a deconfinement transition of the Majorana bound states in the vortex cores of a Fu-Kane heterostructure (a 3D topological…
We propose a planar Josephson junction setup to host Majorana modes where the semiconductor is sandwiched between superconductors on both surfaces. While the studied configuration is related to both devices proposed for use with topological…
We study parafermion chains with $\mathbb{Z}_k$ symmetry subject to a periodic binary drive. We focus on the case $k=3$. We find that the chains support different Floquet edge modes at nontrivial quasienergies, distinct from those for the…
Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene modulated by a superlattice potential is a highly tunable system predicted to realize isolated topological flat bands. In this work we calculate the band structure and quantum geometry of bilayer graphene…
Recent studies in the realization of Majorana fermion (MF) quasiparticles have focused on engineering topological superconductivity by combining conventional superconductors and spin-textured electronic materials. We propose an effective…
The quantum anomalies at the edges correspond to the topological phases in the system, and the chiral edge states can reflect bulk bands' topological properties. In this paper, we demonstrate a simulation of Floquet system's chiral edge…
