We study the Floquet edge states in arrays of periodically curved optical waveguides described by the modulated Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. Beyond the bulk-edge correspondence, our study explores the interplay between band topology and…
This paper analyzes Floquet topological insulators resulting from the time-harmonic irradiation of electromagnetic waves on two dimensional materials such as graphene. We analyze the bulk and edge topologies of approximations to the…
We study the open system dynamics and steady states of two dimensional Floquet topological insulators: systems in which a topological Floquet-Bloch spectrum is induced by an external periodic drive. We solve for the bulk and edge state…
The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model of polyacetylene is a paradigmatic Hamiltonian exhibiting non-trivial edge states. By using Floquet theory we study how the spectrum of this one-dimensional topological insulator is affected by a…
Over the past few years, topological insulators have taken center stage in solid state physics. The desire to tune the topological invariants of the bulk and thus control the number of edge states has steered theorists and experimentalists…
Mechanical topological insulators are well understood for linear and weakly nonlinear systems, however traditional analysis methods break down for strongly nonlinear systems since linear methods can not be applied in that case. We study one…
Topologically protected edge states exactly at topological phase boundaries challenge the conventional belief that topological states must be associated with a bulk energy gap. Because periodically driven (Floquet) systems host unusually…
Topological edge states in gaps of non-Hermitian systems are robust due to topological protection. Using the non-Hermitian Floquet Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, we show that this robustness can break down: edge states may be suppressed by…
Topological insulating phases are primarily associated with condensed-matter systems, which typically feature short-range interactions. Nevertheless, many realizations of quantum matter can exhibit long-range interactions, and it is still…
Time-periodic (Floquet) topological phases of matter exhibit bulk-edge relationships that are more complex than static topological insulators and superconductors. Finding the edge modes unique to driven systems usually requires numerics.…
Topological insulators represent unique phases of matter with insulating bulk and conducting edge or surface states, immune to small perturbations such as backscattering due to disorder. This stems from their peculiar band structure, which…
Engineering dissipative dynamics in open quantum systems is under active focus, especially in topological settings where resilient edge modes are expected to exhibit decay rates distinct from the bulk. In this letter, we propose an…
We explore the impact of commensurate multifrequency driving protocols on the stability of topological edge modes in topological 1D systems of spinless fermions. Using Floquet theory, we show that all the topological phase transitions can…
We consider the effect of time-periodic forcing on a one-dimensional Schr{\"o}dinger equation with a topologically protected defect (edge) mode. The unforced system models a domain-wall or dislocation defect in a periodic structure, and it…
This paper proposes a quantitative description of the low energy edge states at the interface between two-dimensional topological insulators. They are modeled by continuous Hamiltonians as systems of Dirac equations that are amenable to a…
Discrete-time quantum walks allow Floquet topological insulator materials to be explored using controllable systems such as ultracold atoms in optical lattices. By numerical simulations, we study the robustness of topologically protected…
We explore topological edge states in periodically driven nonlinear systems. Based on a self-consistency method adjusted to periodically driven systems, we obtain stationary states associated with topological phases unique to Floquet…
Recently, effects of nonlinearity on topologically nontrivial systems have attracted attention and the stability of topologically protected edge states has been studied for a quantum walk with nonlinear effects, which is akin to…
It is often thought that emergent phenomena in topological phases of matter are destroyed when tuning to a critical point. In particular, topologically protected edge states supposedly delocalize when the bulk correlation length diverges.…
The existence of gapless boundary states is a key attribute of any topological insulator. Topological band theory predicts that these states are robust against static perturbations that preserve the relevant symmetries. In this article,…
