Higher-order topological materials with topologically protected states at the boundaries of their boundaries (hinges or corners) have attracted attention in recent years. In this paper, we utilize time-periodic driving to generate…

The Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice is a paradigmatic system known to host a wealth of nontrivial topological phases and Majorana edge modes. In the static case, the Majorana edge modes are nondispersive. When the system is…

The Kitaev model realizes a quantum spin liquid where the spin excitations are fractionalized into itinerant Majorana fermions and localized $\mathbb{Z}_2$ vortices. Quantum entanglement between the fractional excitations can be utilized…

Systems of strongly interacting particles, fermions or bosons, can give rise to topological phases that are not acessible to non-interacting systems. Many such interaction-enabled topological phases have been discussed theoretically but few…

We investigate Majorana modes in a quantum spin chain with bond-dependent exchange interactions by studying its dynamics. Specifically, we consider two-time correlations for the Kitaev-Heisenberg (KH) Hamiltonian close to the so-called…

We study the stability of nucleated topological phases that can emerge when interacting non-Abelian anyons form a regular array. The studies are carried out in the context of Kitaev's honeycomb model, where we consider three distinct types…

A characteristic feature of topological systems is the presence of robust gapless edge states. In this work the effect of time-dependent perturbations on the edge states is considered. Specifically we consider perturbations that can be…

The time evolution of topological systems is an active area of interest due to their expected applications in fault-tolerant quantum computing. Here, we analyze the dynamics of a noninteracting spinless fermion chain in its topological…

We show that the evolution of two-component particles governed by a two-dimensional spin-orbit lattice Hamiltonian can reveal transitions between topological phases. A kink in the mean width of the particle distribution signals the closing…

We investigate the topological phases in a coupled one-dimensional p-wave superconducting Fibonacci quasicrystal modeled by the quasiperiodic Kitaev chain. Recent studies have shown that the coupled system can host topological edge modes…

We study a model in (2+1)-dimensional spacetime that is realized by an array of chains, each of which realizes relativistic Majorana fields in (1+1)-dimensional spacetime, coupled via current-current interactions. The model is shown to have…

The engineering of non-trivial topology in superconducting heterostructures is a very challenging task. Reducing the number of components in the system would facilitate the creation of the long-sought Majorana bound states. Here, we explore…

Topological states of matter present a wide variety of striking new phenomena. Prominent among these is the fractionalisation of electrons into unusual particles: Majorana fermions [1], Laughlin quasiparticles [2] or magnetic monopoles [3].…

We explore the interplay between topologies in the momentum and real spaces to formulate a thermodynamic description of nonequilibrium injection of topological charges under external bias. We show that the edge modes engendered by the…

A spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Kitaev sublattice interacting with a subsystem of spinless fermions is studied on a honeycomb lattice when the fermion band is half filled. The model Hamiltonian describes a topological Kondo lattice with the Kitaev…

We study the excitations in a three dimensional version of Kitaev's spin-1/2 model on the honeycomb lattice introduced by the present authors recently. The gapped phase of the system is analyzed using a low energy effective Hamiltonian…

We propose a scenario to create topological superfluid in a periodically driven two-dimensional square optical lattice. We study the phase diagram of a spin-orbit coupled s-wave pairing superfluid in a periodically driven two-dimensional…

Spin-orbital liquids provide an exactly solvable route to three-dimensional Z2 quantum spin liquids beyond the original Kitaev setting. Built from higher-dimensional Clifford-algebra representations, spin-orbital Hamiltonians can be…

We study the possibility to realize Majorana zero mode that's robust and may be easily manipulated for braiding in quantum computing in the ground state of the Kitaev model in this work. To achieve this we first apply a uniform [111]…

We present a comprehensive study of two of the most experimentally relevant extensions of Kitaev's spinless model of a 1D p-wave superconductor: those involving (i) longer range hopping and superconductivity and (ii) inhomogeneous…
