The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model serves as a canonical example of a one-dimensional topological insulator, yet its behavior under more complex, realistic conditions remains a fertile ground for research. This paper presents a…
Topological phase, a novel and fundamental role in matter, displays an extraordinary robustness to smooth changes in material parameters or disorder. A crossover between topological physics and quantum information may lead to inherent…
Working in the context of the Su-Schreiffer-Heeger (SSH) model, the effect of topological transitions on the structure and properties of bulk position-space wavefunctions is studied for a particle undergoing a quantum walk in a…
Thorough control of the optical mode of a single photon is essential for quantum information applications. We present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of a light-matter interface based on cavity quantum electrodynamics. We…
Topological photonics is an emergent research discipline which interlinks fundamental aspects of photonics, information processing and solid-state physics. Exciton-polaritons are a specifically interesting platform to study topological…
We briefly review the advanced mathematical language of fiber bundle structures and how they can be used to classify two-level quantum systems based on the analysis of the topological properties of their sets of state vectors. The…
We investigate the edge states and the topological phase transitions in a class of tight binding lattices in one dimension where a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model exists in disguise. The unit cells of such lattices may have an arbitrarily…
While energy band topology in spatial photonic crystals (PCs) and momentum-band topology in temporal crystals have each served as powerful probes of topological phases in their respective domains, their unification in a static platform…
We study topological properties of phase transition points of topological quantum phase transitions by assigning a topological invariant defined on a closed circle or surface surrounding the phase transition point in the parameter space of…
While designing the energy-momentum relation of photons is key to many linear, non-linear, and quantum optical phenomena, a new set of light-matter properties may be realized by employing the topology of the photonic bath itself. In this…
This is an introductory review of the physics of topological quantum matter with cold atoms. Topological quantum phases, originally discovered and investigated in condensed matter physics, have recently been explored in a range of different…
We propose a scheme to simulate topological physics within a single degenerate cavity, whose modes are mapped to lattice sites. A crucial ingredient of the scheme is to construct a sharp boundary so that the open boundary condition can be…
In this work, we present a theory for topological phases for quantum systems on tree graphs. Conventionally, topological phases of matter have been studied in regular lattices, but also in quasicrystals and amorphous settings. We consider…
We perform digital quantum simulations of the noninteracting Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model using a parameterized quantum circuit. The circuit comprises two main components: the first prepares the initial state from the product state…
A tight binding network of diamond shaped unit cells trapping a staggered magnetic flux distribution is shown to exhibit a topological phase transition under a controlled variation of the flux trapped in a cell. A simple real space…
We design a setup to realize tunable topological phases in elastic photonic crystals. Using the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model as a canonical example, we show how a system can be continuously tuned across its topological phase transition…
Light-induced quantum phases offer the potential for simple and powerful tuning of material properties. For example, simply illuminating 2D materials in the integer quantum Hall regime with polarized light is predicted to drive quantum…
The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model is likely the simplest one-dimensional concept to study non-trivial topological phases and topological excitations. Originally developed to explain the electric conductivity of polyacetylene, it has…
We develop a diagrammatic theory of cavity-mediated photon-photon interactions in a topological insulator using the SSH model. The fourth-order vertex $\Gamma^{(4)}(\omega_1,\omega_2)$ governs spectral entanglement and Kerr nonlinearity,…
Topological matter is characterized by the presence of a topological BF term in its long-distance effective action. Topological defects due to the compactness of the U(1) gauge fields induce quantum phase transitions between topological…
