A model subspace configuration interaction method is developed to obtain chemically accurate electron correlations by diagonalising a very compact effective Hamiltonian of realistic molecule. The construction of the effective Hamiltonian is…
The application of topology, a branch of mathematics, to the study of electronic states in crystalline materials has had a revolutionary impact on the field of condensed matter physics. For example, the development of topological band…
Topological band theory has transformed our understanding of crystalline materials by classifying the connectivity and crossings of electronic energy levels. Extending these concepts to molecular systems has therefore attracted significant…
The study of cycloaddition mechanisms is central to the fabrication of extended sp2 carbon nanostructures. Reaction modeling in this context has focused mostly on putative, energetically preferred, exothermic products with limited…
Electrical circuits offer a unique platform to explore physical phenomena, from topology to non-Hermitian effects. Investigations of the fundamental properties of this metamaterial platform are crucial to distinguish observed/measured…
Topological materials have become the focus of intense research in recent years, since they exhibit fundamentally new physical phenomena with potential applications for novel devices and quantum information technology. One of the hallmarks…
We classify topological phases of non-Hermitian systems in the Altland-Zirnbauer classes with an additional reflection symmetry in all dimensions. By mapping the non-Hermitian system into an enlarged Hermitian Hamiltonian with an enforced…
The past years have seen rapid progress in the classification of topological materials. These diagnostical methods are increasingly getting explored in the pertinent context of magnetic structures. We report on a general class of electronic…
Topology captures the essence of what remains unchanged under a transformation. In this study, a topological invariant called super conformality was found to preserve a critical angle between the constitutive plane and its second order…
Conformational transitions are ubiquitous in biomolecular systems, have significant functional roles and are subject to evolutionary pressures. Here we provide a first theoretical framework for topological transition, i.e. conformational…
We establish the existence of a topological classification of many-particle quantum systems undergoing unitary time evolution. The classification naturally inherits phenomenology familiar from equilibrium -- it is robust against disorder…
Electron fractionalization is intimately related to topology. In one-dimensional systems, fractionally charged states exist at domain walls between degenerate vacua. In two-dimensional systems, fractionalization exists in quantum Hall…
Conformational isomers or conformers of molecules play a decisive role in chemistry and biology. However, experimental methods to investigate chemical reaction dynamics are typically not conformer-sensitive. Here, we report on a gas-phase…
We discuss a topological classification of insulators and superconductors in the presence of both (non-spatial) discrete symmetries in the Altland-Zirnbauer classification and spatial reflection symmetry in any spatial dimensions. By using…
Topology in photonics comes in two distinct flavors: global and local. Global topology considers invariants that are obtained by integrating over the energy band, whereas local topology considers defects, typically vortices, in the…
We study non-interacting electrons in disordered materials which exhibit a spectral gap, in each of the ten Altland--Zirnbauer symmetry classes, in all space dimensions. We define an appropriate space of Hamiltonians and a topology on it so…
The discovery of topological insulators has reformed modern materials science, promising to be a platform for tabletop relativistic physics, electronic transport without scattering, and stable quantum computation. Topological invariants are…
We propose a reaction-diffusion system that converts topological information of an active nematic into chemical signals. We show that a curvature-activated reaction dipole is sufficient for creating a system that dynamically senses topology…
One of the most challenging problems in correlated topological systems is a realization of the reduction of topological classification, but very few experimental platforms have been proposed so far. We here demonstrate that ultracold…
Patterns in reaction-diffusion systems near primary bifurcations can be studied locally and classified by means of amplitude equations. This is not possible for excitable reaction-diffusion systems. In this Letter we propose a global…
