Quantum topology categorizes physical systems in integer invariants, which are robust to some deformations and certain types of disorder. A prime example is the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model, which has two distinct topological phases,…
Recent progress in synthetic lattice systems has opened the door to novel explorations of topological matter. In particular, photonic devices and ultracold matter waves offer the unique possibility of studying the rich interplay between…
The dynamics of solitons driven in a nonlinear Thouless pump and its connection with the system's topology were recently explored for both weak and strong nonlinear strength. This work uncovers the fate of nonlinear Thouless pumping in the…
The interplay between topology and soliton is a central topic in nonlinear topological physics. So far, most studies have been confined to conservative settings. Here, we explore Thouless pumping of dissipative temporal solitons in a…
Thouless pumping represents a powerful concept to probe quantized topological invariants in quantum systems. We explore this mechanism in a generalized Rice-Mele Fermi-Hubbard model characterized by the presence of competing onsite and…
Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chains are the simplest model systems that display topological edge states. We calculate high-harmonic spectra of SSH chains that are coupled to an external laser field of a frequency much smaller than the band…
We demonstrate dynamical topological phase transitions in evolving Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) lattices made of interacting soliton arrays, which are entirely driven by nonlinearity and thereby exemplify emergent nonlinear topological…
It has recently been theoretically predicted and experimentally observed that a soliton resulting from nonlinearity can be pumped across an integer or fractional number of unit cells as a system parameter is slowly varied over a pump…
In polymer science, cross-linking of polymer chains yields a substantially modified system compared to the one-dimensional constituent chains, due to the increase of dimensionality and effective seeding by defects (cross-linking sites).…
Geared as an invitation for undergraduates, beginning graduate students, we present a pedagogical introduction to one-dimensional topological phases -- in particular the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. In the process, we delve upon ideas of…
In this work, we propose a completely general method to pump the gapped topological modes of a lattice of optical waveguides by controlling the propagation constant of an auxiliary waveguide and its coupling to the main lattice. In this…
Thouless pumping enables the transport of particles in a one-dimensional periodic potential if the potential is slowly and periodically modulated in time. The change in the position of particles after each modulation period is quantized and…
Topological lasers, known for their robustness and unique features originating from nontrivial topology, have recently become a focal point of research in photonics. In this work, we propose a topological laser based on two-dimensional…

Topological photonics has recently emerged as a route to realize robust optical circuitry, and nonlinear effects are expected to enable tunability of topological states with the light intensity. Here we realize experimentally nonlinear…
We study one-dimensional topological models with dimerization and trimerization and show that these models can be generated using interaction or optical superlattice. The topological properties of these models are demonstrated by the…
Topological charge pumping represents an important quantum phenomenon that shows the fundamental connection to the topological properties of dynamical systems. Here, we introduce a pumping process in a spin-dependent double-well optical…
Thouless pumping, not only achieving quantized transport but also immune to moderate disorder, has attracted growing attention in both experiments and theories. Here, we explore how particle-particle interactions affect topological…
We elucidate the mechanism for instability of topological Thouless pumping in strongly interacting systems from a viewpoint of symmetry-protected topological phases. If the protecting symmetries of the underlying topological phases change…
Quantized charge pumping is a robust adiabatic phenomenon uniquely existing in topologically nontrivial systems. Such topological pumping not only brings fundamental insights to the evolution of states under the protection of topology but…
