A novel class of nonequilibrium phase-transitions at zero temperature is found in chains of nonlinear oscillators.For two paradigmatic systems, the Hamiltonian XY model and the discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, we find that the…

The Haldane phase for antiferromagnetic spin-1 chains is a celebrated topological state of matter, featuring gapped excitations and fractional spin-1/2 edge states. Here, we provide numerical evidence that this phase can be realized with a…

In the BCS limit density profiles for unpolarized trapped fermionic clouds of atoms are largely featureless. Therefore, it is a delicate task to analyze them in order to quantify their respective interaction and temperature contributions.…

Topological phase transitions involving crystalline symmetry breaking provide a fertile ground to explore the interplay between symmetry, topology, and emergent quantum phenomena. Recently discovered quasi-one-dimensional topological…

We study the geometric Uhlmann phase of mixed states at finite temperature in a system of two coupled spin-$\frac 1 2$ particles driven by a magnetic field applied to one of the spins. In the parameter space of temperature and coupling, we…

We employ the numerical linked-cluster expansion to study finite-temperature properties of the uniform cubic lattice Hubbard model in the thermodynamic limit for a wide range of interaction strengths and densities. We carry out the…

Ultracold fermions trapped in a honeycomb optical lattice constitute a versatile setup to experimentally realize the Haldane model [Phys. Rev. Lett. 61, 2015 (1988)]. In this system, a non-uniform synthetic magnetic flux can be engineered…

In this paper, starting from a lattice model of topological insulators, we study the quantum phase transitions among different quantum states, including quantum spin Hall state, quantum anomalous Hall state and normal band insulator state…

We investigate thermally-driven transport of heat and charge in a superconducting single-electron transistor by means of a real-time diagrammatic transport theory. Our theoretical approach allows us to account for strong Coulomb…

We propose a mixed-geometry system of fermionic species selectively confined in lattices of different geometry. We investigate how such asymmetry can lead to exotic multiband fermion pairing in an example system of honeycomb and triangular…

We study the influence of the antiferromagnetic order on the surface states of topological insulators. We derive an effective Hamiltonian for these states, taking into account the spatial structure of the antiferromagnetic order. We obtain…

We propose and demonstrate an experimental scheme to engineer thermal baths with independently tunable temperatures and dissipation rates for the motional modes of a trapped-ion system. This approach enables robust thermal-state preparation…

In condensed matter physics many features can be understood in terms of their topological properties. Here we report evidence of a topological quantum transition driven by the charge-phonon coupling in the spinless Haldane model on a…

The ground state nature of the Falicov-Kimball model with unconstrained hopping of electrons is investigated. We solve the eigenvalue problem in a pedagogical manner and give a complete account of the ground state energy both as a function…

We construct a three-dimensional second-order topological insulator with gapless helical hinge states from an array of weakly tunnel-coupled Rashba nanowires. For suitably chosen interwire tunnelings, we demonstrate that the system has a…

The photoinduced topological phase transitions and thermal Hall conductivity of a kagome magnet with Heisenberg, Kitaev, and DM interactions under an external magnetic field aligned along the [111] directions is investigated in this study.…

We study the ground state of the two-dimensional Anderson-Hubbard model using a quantum real space renormalization group method. We obtain the phase diagram near half filling. The system is always insulating with disorder. At half filling,…

While quantum statistical mechanics triumphs in explaining many equilibrium phenomena, there is an increasing focus on going beyond conventional scenarios of thermalization. Traditionally examples of non-thermalizing systems are either…

In this work we explore experimental signatures of fractional topological insulators in three dimensions. These are states of matter with a fully gapped bulk that host exotic gapless surface states and fractionally charged quasiparticles.…

Two-dimensional periodically-driven topological insulators have been shown to exhibit numerous topological phases, including ones which have no static analog, such as anomalous Floquet topological phases. We study a two dimensional model of…
