We study edge modes in topological semimetals which have an energy band structure of ordinary semimetals but can be characterized by a Chern number. More specifically, we focus on a Qi-Wu-Zhang-type square-lattice model and a Haldane-type…
Haldane's tight-binding model, which describes a Chern insulator in a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice, exhibits quantum Hall conductivity without an external magnetic field. Here, we explore an $\alpha -T_{3}$ lattice subjected to…
We study two-dimensional bosonic and fermionic lattice systems under nonequilibrium conditions corresponding to a sharp gradient of temperature imposed by two thermal baths. In particular, we consider a lattice model with broken…
We study the quantum dynamics in response to time-dependent external potentials of the edge modes of a small fractional quantum Hall fluid composed of few particles on a lattice in a bosonic Laughlin-like state at filling {\nu} = 1/2. We…
We theoretically demonstrate that the chiral structure of the nodes of nodal semimetals is responsible for the existence and universal local properties of the edge states in the vicinity of the nodes. We perform a general analysis of the…
We use large-scale Monte-Carlo simulations to study thermal fluctuations in chiral $p$-wave superconductors in an applied magnetic field in three dimensions. We consider the thermal stability of previously predicted unusual double-quanta…
Periodic driving fields can induce topological phase transitions, resulting in Floquet topological phases with intriguing properties such as very large Chern numbers and unusual edge states. Whether such Floquet topological phases could…
Fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) are lattice generalizations of the conventional fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) in two-dimensional (2D) electron gases. They typically arise in a 2D lattice without time-reversal symmetry when a…
Topological insulators are a new phase of matter with the distinctive characteristics of an insulating bulk and conducting edge states. Recent theories indicate there even exist topological edge states in the fractal-dimensional lattices,…
Topological edge states in Chern insulators are typically characterized by a linear dispersion relation inherited from the Dirac structure of the bulk Hamiltonian. Here we show that this paradigm can be fundamentally altered in systems with…
We consider Haldane-like $2d$ topological insulators on the cylinder, in the presence of weak quasi-periodic disorder. We prove that, at large distances, the boundary correlations agree with the correlations of a renormalized,…
We investigate the quantum anomalous Hall Effect (QAHE) and related chiral transport in the millimeter-size (Cr0.12Bi0.26Sb0.62)2Te3 films. With high sample quality and robust magnetism at low temperatures, the quantized Hall conductance of…
The Hofstadter model is a simple yet powerful Hamiltonian to study quantum Hall physics in a lattice system, manifesting its essential topological states. Lattice dimerization in the Hofstadter model opens an energy gap at half filling.…
In this work, the stability of the insulating phase of the 1D chiral Kondo lattice model is studied at half-filling, within the framework of self-consistent variational theory. It is found that arbitrarily small interaction would drive the…
The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) is a canonical example of a topological phase in a correlated 2D electron gas under strong magnetic field. While electric currents propagate as chiral downstream edge modes, chargeless upstream…
Quantum Hall physics is at the heart of research on both matter and artificial systems, such as cold atomic gases, with non-trivial topological order. We report on the observation of a chiral edge current by transferring atomic wavepackets…
The rapid development of artificial gauge fields in ultracold gases suggests that atomic realization of fractional quantum Hall physics will become experimentally practical in the near future. While it is known that bosons on lattices can…
The chiral edge states and the quantized Hall conductance (QHC) in the two-dimensional kagom\'{e} lattice with spin anisotropies included in a general Hund's coupling region are studied. This kagom\'{e} lattice system is periodic in the $x$…
We investigate fractional edge modes in moire fractional quantum anomalous Hall states, focusing on the role of lattice momentum conservation and umklapp scattering. For the hierarchical nu=2/3 state, we show that, for a class of…
Two-dimensional topological insulators, and in particular quantum Hall states, are characterized by an insulating bulk and a conducting edge. Fractional states may host both downstream (dictated by the magnetic field) and upstream…
