If an extensive partition in two dimensions yields a gapful entanglement spectrum of the reduced density matrix, the Berry curvature based on the corresponding entanglement eigenfunction defines the Chern number. We propose such an…

Topological invariants play a key role in the characterization of topological states. Due to the existence of exceptional points, it is a great challenge to detect topological invariants in non-Hermitian systems. We put forward a dynamic…

The bulk-edge correspondence links the Chern-topological numbers with the net number of unidirectional states supported at an interface of the relevant materials. This fundamental principle is perhaps the most consequential result of…

Topological insulating states in two-dimensional (2D) materials are ideal systems to study different types of quantized response signals due to their in gap metallic states. Very recently, the quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect was discovered…

We propose a universal theory for tunable second-order topological corner states induced by interlayer coupling in bilayer Chern insulators with opposite Chern numbers. We demonstrate that the existence of the topological corner state is…

We propose to use generic Chern numbers for a characterization of topological insulators. It is suitable for a numerical characterization of low dimensional quantum liquids where strong quantum fluctuations prevent from developing…

Topological insulators are a novel state of matter that share a common feature: their spectral bands are associated with a nonlocal integer-valued index, commonly manifesting through quantized bulk phenomena and robust boundary effects. In…

The Hamiltonian for the one-dimensional SSH chain is one of the simplest Hamiltonians that supports topological states. This work considers between one and three finite SSH chains with open boundary conditions that either share a lattice…

Topological band insulators are classified using momentum-space topological invariants, such as Chern or winding numbers, when they feature translational symmetry. The lack of translation symmetry in disordered, quasicrystalline, or…

The ground state of translationally-invariant insulators comprise bands which can assume topologically distinct structures. There are few known examples where this distinction is enforced by a point-group symmetry alone. In this paper we…

Linearity of the topological insulator edge state spectrum plays the crucial role for various transport phenomena. The previous studies found that this linearity exists near the spectrum crossing point, but did not determine how perfect the…

We study the edge states of twisted bilayer graphene and their topological origin. We show that the twisted bilayer graphene has special edge states associated with the moir\'{e} pattern, and the emergence of these moir\'{e} edge states is…

We study two-particle states in a Su-Shrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain with periodic boundary conditions and nearest-neighbor (NN) interactions. The system is mapped into a problem of a single particle in a two-dimensional (2D) SSH lattice with…

We study the emergence of electronic edge states in superconducting (SC) monolayer, bilayer, and trilayer graphene for both spin-singlet and spin-triplet SC order parameters. We focus mostly on the gapped chiral $p+ip'$- and $d+id'$-wave SC…

We study the topological properties of one-dimensional discrete-time quantum walks with Fibonacci quasiperiodic modulation. Spectral analysis under open boundary conditions reveals isolated edge modes that coexist at both zero and $\pi$…

Integer-valued topological indices, characterizing nonlocal properties of quantum states of matter, are known to directly predict robust physical properties of equilibrium systems. The Chern number, e.g., determines the quantized Hall…

We investigate the topological properties of one-dimensional weakly interacting topological insulators using bosonization. To do that we study the topological edge states that emerge at the edges of a model realized by a strong impurity or…

We study the edge spectrum of twisted sheets of single layer and bilayer graphene in cases where the continuum model predicts a valley Chern insulator -- an insulating state in which the occupied moir\'e mini-bands from each valley have a…

In this work, we develop a systematical approach of constructing and classifying the model Hamiltonians for two-dimensional (2D) higher-order topological phase with corner zero energy states (CZESs). Our approach is based on the direct…

In the context of topological insulators, the shallow-water model was recently shown to exhibit an anomalous bulk-edge correspondence. For the model with a boundary, the parameter space involves both longitudinal momentum and boundary…
