In crystalline systems, higher-order topology, characterized by topological states of codimension greater than one, typically arises from the mismatch between Wannier centers and atomic sites, leading to filling anomalies. However, this…
We determine the optimum topology of quasi-one dimensional nonlinear optical structures using generalized quantum graph models. Quantum graphs are relational graphs endowed with a metric and a multiparticle Hamiltonian acting on the edges,…
Topological insulators and their intriguing edge states can be understood in a single-particle picture and can as such be exhaustively classified. Interactions significantly complicate this picture and can lead to entirely new insulating…
Ultracold atoms trapped in optical superlattices provide a simple platform for realizing the seminal Aubry-Andr\'{e}-Harper (AAH) model. However, the periodic modulations on the nearest-neighbour hoppings have been ignored in this model. In…
We study the properties of the quantum states in the one-dimensional system with a shifted periodic potential in both the discrete model and the continuous model. With open boundary conditions, the edge states appear in the energy gaps…
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 investigate the localisation properties of quasiperiodic tight-binding chains with hopping terms modulated by the interpolating Aubry-Andr\'e-Fibonacci (IAAF) function. This off-diagonal IAAF model allows for a smooth and controllable…
Topological electronic phases exist in a variety of naturally occurring materials but can also be created artificially. We used a cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope to create dimerized chains of identical quantum dots on a…
In a recent experiment, a dissipative Aharaonov-Bohm (AB) chain was implemented in the momentum space of a Bose-Einstein condensate. Formed by a series of dissipative AB rings threaded by synthetic magnetic flux, the chain exhibits the…
We study the single-particle properties of a system formed by ultracold atoms loaded into the manifold of $l=1$ Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) states of an optical lattice with a diamond chain geometry. Through a series of successive basis…
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…
Higher-order topological states that possess gapped bulk energy bands and exotic topologically protected boundary states with at least two dimension lower than the bulk have significantly opened a new perspective for understanding of…
Recent realizations of exotic topological states in condensed matter and cold atoms have advanced the exploration for topological characteristics, such as invariant topological orders and band inversion. Here we construct a 1D optical…
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…
One of the hallmarks of topological systems is the robust quantization of particle transport. It is the origin of the integer-valued quantum Hall conductivity and a potential tool for quantum information technology. Recent experiments on…
The combination of topology and quantum criticality can give rise to an exotic mix of counterintuitive effects. Here, we show that unexpected topological properties take place in a paradigmatic strongly-correlated Hamiltonian: the 1D…
Two-dimensional lattice models subjected to an external effective magnetic field can form nontrivial band topologies characterized by nonzero integer band Chern numbers. In this Letter, we investigate such a lattice model originating from…
Atom manipulation by scanning tunneling microscopy was used to construct quantum dots on the InAs(111)A surface. Each dot comprised six ionized indium adatoms. The positively charged adatoms create a confining potential acting on…
Topological photonic edge states, protected by chiral symmetry, are attractive for guiding wave energy as they can allow for more robust guiding and greater control of light than alternatives; however, for photonics, chiral symmetry is…
Topological insulators feature a number of topologically protected boundary modes linked to the value of their bulk invariant. While in one-dimensional systems the boundary modes are zero dimensional and localized, in two-dimensional…
