We study phase diagrams of charge-conserving `class A' non-interacting fermions, focusing on the trivial phase in various dimensions. Such phases are usually termed `featureless' to distinguish them from those others with either…

Based on the first-principles calculations, we theoretically propose topologically non-trivial states in a recently experimentally discovered superconducting material CaSn$_3$. When the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is ignored, the material is…

It has recently been realized that zero modes with projective non-Abelian statistics, generalizing the notion of Majorana bound states, may exist at the interface between a superconductor and a ferromagnet along the edge of a fractional…

Despite the extensive studies of topological systems, the experimental characterizations of strongly nonlinear topological phases have been lagging. To address this shortcoming, we design and build elliptically geared isostatic…

We investigate finite-size topological phases in thin films of nodal line semimetals (co-dimension 2) in three dimensions. By analyzing the hybridization of drumhead surface states, we demonstrate that such systems can transition into…

We address the question of whether individual nonmagnetic impurities can induce zero-energy states in time-reversal-invariant topological superconductors, and define a class of symmetries which guarantee the existence of such states for a…

We introduce a new class of out-of-equilibrium noninteracting topological phases, the topological space-time crystals. These are time-dependent quantum systems which do not have discrete spatial translation symmetries, but instead are…

Topology is central to phenomena that arise in a variety of fields, ranging from quantum field theory to quantum information science to condensed matter physics. Recently, the study of topology has been extended to open systems, leading to…

We study amorphous systems with completely random sites and find that, through constructing and exploring a concrete model Hamiltonian, such a system can host an exotic phase of topological amorphous metal in three dimensions. In contrast…

It has been known that an anti-unitary symmetry such as time-reversal or charge conjugation is needed to realize Z2 topological phases in non-interacting systems. Topological insulators and superconducting nanowires are representative…

The theoretical identification of crystalline topological materials has enjoyed sustained success in simplified materials models, often by singling out discrete symmetry operations protecting the topological phase. When band structure…

Topologically nontrivial states are common in symmetry broken phases at macroscopic scales. Low dimensional systems bring them to a microscopic level where solitons emerge as single particles. The earliest and latest applications are…

Topological superconductors are a class of unconventional superconducting materials featuring sub-gap zero-energy Majorana bound modes that hold promise as a building block for topological quantum computing. In this work, we study the…

We consider a mean-field Hamiltonian for a $d_{x^2-y^2}+(p+ip)$ superconductor(SC) in presence of spin-density-wave(SDW) order. This is due to the fact that the non-commutativity of any two orders produces the third one. The energy spectrum…

If particles interact according to isotropic pair potentials that favor multiple length scales, in principle a large variety of different complex structures can be achieved by self-assembly. We present, motivate, and discuss a conjecture…

A monopole harmonic superconductor is a novel topological phase of matter with topologically protected gap nodes that result from the non-trivial Berry phase structure of Cooper pairs. In this work we propose to realize a monopole…

The topological orders in amorphous systems that lack crystalline symmetry have gained considerable attention recently. Here we propose the Floquet amorphous topological matter, among which the topological orders are explored in…

Recently there is trend to study topological properties in one-dimensional(1D) periodic systems. Concepts such as Zak phase are considered as topological invariants that characterize the bulk bands. The bulk 1D systems are classified to…

Topological phases support edge states that can be robust to material deformations and other perturbations. While well-studied in quantum systems, topological phases have also been observed in stochastic and biochemical systems, yet it…

We study the electronic structure of the nodal line semimetal ZrSiTe both experimentally and theoretically. We find two different surface states in ZrSiTe - topological drumhead surface states and trivial floating band surface states. Using…
