We establish non-Hermitian topological mechanics in one dimensional (1D) and two dimensional (2D) lattices consisting of mass points connected by meta-beams that lead to odd elasticity. Extended from the "non-Hermitian skin effect" in 1D…
The flourishing of topological photonics in the last decade was achieved mainly due to developments in linear topological photonic structures. However, when nonlinearity is introduced, many intriguing questions arise. For example, are there…
Berry phase physics is closely related to a number of topological states of matter. Recently discovered topological semimetals are believed to host a nontrivial $\pi$ Berry phase to induce a phase shift of $\pm 1/8$ in the quantum…
The canonical Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model is one of the basic geometries that have spurred significant interest in topologically nontrivial bandgap modes with robust properties. Here, we show that the inclusion of suitable third-order…
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…
Flat, non-dispersive bands and topological phase transition in multiple Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chains, cross-linked via periodically arranged nodal points are explored within a tight binding framework. We give analytic prescription,…
The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model lays the foundation of many important concepts in quantum topological matters. Since it tells one that topological states may be distinguished by abelian geometric phases, a question naturally arises as…
The interplay between nonlinear and topological physics has led to intriguing emergent phenomena, such as quantized and fractionally quantized Thouless pumping of solitons dictated by the topological invariants of the underlying band…
We present an extension of Landau's theory of phase transitions by incorporating the topology of the order parameter. When the order parameter comprises several components arising from multiplicity in the same irreducible representation of…
The Hofstadter model exemplifies a large class of physical systems characterized by particles hopping on a lattice immersed in a gauge field. Recent advancements on various synthetic platforms have enabled highly-controllable simulations of…
We identify the existence of various symmetry-protected topological states in one-dimensional superlattices with periodically modulated hopping amplitudes or on-site potentials, which can be characterized by the quantized Berry phase $\pi$…
We propose a one-dimensional nonlinear system of coupled anharmonic oscillators that dynamically undergoes a topological transition switching from the {disordered} and topologically trivial phase into the nontrivial one due to the…
Cavity materials are a frontier to investigate the role of light-matter interactions on the properties of electronic phases of matter. In this work, we raise a fundamental question: can non-local interactions mediated by cavity photons…
Non-Hermiticity naturally breaks down the adiabaticity and thus leads to non-Abelian behaviors in multi-band systems. Here, we study how non-Abelian properties emerge in non-Hermitian systems by considering a multi-band non-Hermitian model…
The (one-dimensional) Su-Schrieffer-Heeger Hamiltonian, augmented by spin-orbit coupling and longer-range hopping, is studied at half filling for an even number of sites. The ground-state phase diagram depends sensitively on the symmetry of…
We present a general analysis of two-dimensional optical lattice models that give rise to topologically non-trivial insulating states. We identify the main ingredients of the lattice models that are responsible for the non-trivial…
Topology can manifest topological magnetism (e.g., skyrmion and bimeron) in real space and quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) state in momentum space, which have changed the modern conceptions of matter phase. While the topologies in different…
Intriguing issues in one-dimensional non-reciprocal topological systems include the breakdown of usual bulk-edge correspondence and the occurrence of half-integer topological invariants. In order to understand these unusual topological…
Linear electric circuits composed of inductors and capacitors can serve as analogues of tight-binding models that describe the electronic band structure of materials. This mapping provides a versatile approach for exploring topological…
Nontrivial topology in physical systems is the driving force behind many phenomena. Notably, phases of matter must be classified in part by their topological properties. Phases with topological order (TO), such as the fractional quantum…
