Thouless pumping is a fundamental phenomenon recognized as being widespread across various areas of physics, with optics holding a particularly prominent role. Here, we study this effect for optical solitons in a medium where the refractive…
We systematically investigate the topological properties of spin polarized Rydberg-dressed fermionic atoms loaded in a bilayer optical lattice. Through tuning the Rydberg coupling strength and the inter-layer tunneling amplitude, we…
In many contexts, the interaction between particles gives rise to emergent and perhaps unanticipated physical phenomena. An example is the fractional quantum Hall effect, where interaction between electrons gives rise to fractionally…
Randomness and disorder have strong impact on transport processes in quantum systems and give rise to phenomena such as Anderson localization [1-3], many-body localization [4] or glassy dynamics [5]. Their characteristics thereby depend on…
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 report on the topological pumping of quadratic optical solitons, observed through their quantized transport in a dynamic optical potential. A distinctive feature of this system is that the two fields with different frequencies, which…
Non-Abelian Thouless pumping intertwines adiabatic quantum control and topological quantum transport and it holds potential for quantum metrology and computing. In this work, we introduce a ladder model featuring two doubly-degenerate bands…
We investigate spontaneous and pumped entanglement of two level systems in the vicinity of a photonic topological insulator interface, which supports a nonreciprocal (unidirectional), scattering-immune and topologically-protected surface…
Spatial structures commonly emerge in interacting nonlinear systems. In this study, we focus on the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the recently-established platform of Rydberg exciton-polaritons, fueled by their characteristic long-range…
Finite-range interacting spin models are the simplest models to study the effect of beyond nearest-neighbour interactions and access new effects caused by the range of the interactions. Recent experiments have reached the regime of dominant…
We analyze a tight binding model of two coupled chains with strongly interacting fermions. Depending on the parameter $w$, the many body lowest energy band consists of either single particles or bound pairs. A topological quantum pump can…
Recent studies have shown that a soliton can be {\it fractionally} transported by slowly varying a system parameter over one period in a nonlinear system. This phenomenon is attributed to the nontrivial topology of the corresponding energy…
Ultracold atoms are an ideal platform to study strongly correlated phases of matter in and out of equilibrium. Much of the experimental progress in this field crucially relies on the control of the contact interaction between two atoms.…
We investigate the interaction of weak light fields with two-dimensional lattices of atoms, in which two-photon coupling establishes conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency and excites high lying atomic Rydberg states. This…
Higher order topological insulators (HOTIs) are a novel form of insulating quantum matter, which are characterized by having gapped boundaries that are separated by gapless corner or hinge states. Recently, it has been proposed that the…
Utilizing synthetic dimensions generated by spatial or temporal modulation, topological pumping enables the exploration of higher-dimensional topological phenomena through lower-dimensional physical systems. In this letter, we propose a…
We theoretically investigate trapped ions interacting with atoms that are coupled to Rydberg states. The strong polarizabilities of the Rydberg levels increases the interaction strength between atoms and ions by many orders of magnitude, as…
The adiabatic charge pumping of a non-equilibrium state of spinless fermions in a one-dimensional lattice is investigated, with an emphasis placed on its usefulness in revealing many-body interaction effects on interband coherence. For a…
Alkaline-earth(-like) ultracold atoms, trapped in optical lattices and in the presence of an external gauge field, can stabilise Mott insulating phases characterised by density and magnetic order. We show that this property can be used to…
We show that two particles interacting via spin exchange exhibit topological features found in one-dimensional single particle lattice models. This is accomplished by absorbing all of the spatial degrees of freedom of the lattices into the…
