In this work we investigate non-Hermitian topological phase transitions using real-space edge states as a paradigmatic tool. We focus on the simplest non-Hermitian variant of the Su-Schrieffer-Hegger model, including a parameter that…

Topological superconductivity is currently one of the prime interests, given the properties of its exotic nature of chiral edge states. A broken time-reversal symmetry (TRS) is an essential ingredient in the recipe of a chiral edge state.…

We investigate topological phases induced by a driven electric field coupled to a dimer chain (a model for poly-acetylene) at high frequency regime. It is shown how the topological invariant of the system can be controlled by the field…

We investigate topological and disorder effects in non-Hermitian systems with chiral symmetry. The system under consideration consists in a finite Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain to which two semi-infinite leads are attached. The system lacks…

Topological states have been widely investigated in different types of systems and lattices. In the present work, we report on topological edge states in double-wave (DW) chains, which can be described by a generalized Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper…

Symmetries play an essential role in identifying and characterizing topological states of matter. Here, we classify topologically two-dimensional (2D) insulators and semimetals with vanishing spin-orbit coupling using time-reversal…

We introduce a one dimensional non-Hermitian four band tight binding lattice system. We find stable topological edge states protected by particle-hole and parity-time symmetries. We show that topological phase appears in the system. We…

The bulk-edge correspondence in topological phases is extended to systems with the generalized chiral symmetry, where the conventional chiral symmetry is broken. In such systems, we find that the edge state exhibits an unconventional…

Topological behavior has been observed in quantum systems including ultracold atoms. However, background harmonic traps for cold-atoms hinder direct detection of topological edge states arising at the boundary because the distortion fuses…

The realization of the Hofstadter model in a strongly anisotropic ladder geometry has now become possible in one-dimensional optical lattices with a synthetic dimension. In this work, we show how the Hofstadter Hamiltonian in such ladder…

Critical edge states appear at the bulk gap closing points of topological transitions. Their emergence signify the existence of topologically nontrivial critical points, whose descriptions fall outside the scope of gapped topological…

Intriguing issues in one-dimensional non-reciprocal topological systems include the breakdown of usual bulk-edge correspondence and the occurrence of half-integer topological invariants. In order to understand these unusual topological…

The possibility of attaining chiral edge modes under periodic driving has spurred tremendous attention, both theoretically and experimentally, especially in light of anomalous Floquet topological phases that feature vanishing Chern numbers…

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…

We have studied the excited states of a one-dimensional donor dimer array by using time-dependent Hartree-Fock and density-functional theories. We find that tuning the inter-donor distances can induce a topological phase transition from a…

Topological phases of fermions in two-dimensions are often characterized by chiral edge states. By definition these propagate in the opposite directions at the two parallel edges when the sample geometry is that of a rectangular strip. We…

Topological phases feature robust edge states that are protected against the effects of defects and disorder. The robustness of these states presents opportunities to design technologies that are tolerant to fabrication errors and resilient…

Much of the recent enthusiasm directed towards topological insulators as a new state of matter is motivated by their hallmark feature of protected chiral edge states. In fermionic systems, Kramers degeneracy gives rise to these entities in…

We analyze interacting ultra-cold bosonic atoms in a one-dimensional (1D) super-lattice potential with alternating tunneling rates t_1 and t_2 and inversion symmetry, which is the bosonic analogue of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model. A…

Higher-order topological phase as a generalization of Berry phase attracts an enormous amount of research. The current theoretical models supporting higher-order topological phases, however, cannot give the connection between lower and…
