Topological states of quantum matter have inspired both fascinating physics findings and exciting opportunities for applications. Due to the over-complicated structure of, as well as interactions between, real materials, a faithful quantum…
Higher-order topological phases of matter have been extensively studied in various areas of physics. While the Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper model provides a paradigmatic example to study topological phases, it has not been explored whether a…

Topological insulators feature a number of topologically protected boundary modes linked to the value of their bulk invariant. While in one-dimensional systems the boundary modes are zero dimensional and localized, in two-dimensional…
Topological insulators are a new class of insulators in which a bulk gap for electronic excitations is generated by strong spin orbit coupling. These novel materials are distinguished from ordinary insulators by the presence of gapless…

Conventional topological insulators support boundary states that have one dimension lower than the bulk system that hosts them, and these states are topologically protected due to quantized bulk dipole moments. Recently, higher-order…

The bulk-edge correspondence characterizes topological insulators and superconductors. We generalize this concept to the bulk-corner correspondence and the edge-corner correspondence in two dimensions. In the bulk-corner (edge-corner)…
