Thouless pumping and topology

R Citro, M Aidelsburger - Nature Reviews Physics, 2023 - nature.com
Thouless pumping provides one of the simplest manifestations of topology in quantum
systems and has attracted a lot of recent interest, both theoretically and experimentally …

Spin‐helical transport in normal and superconducting topological insulators

G Tkachov, EM Hankiewicz - physica status solidi (b), 2013 - Wiley Online Library
In a topological insulator (TI) the character of electron transport varies from insulating in the
interior of the material to metallic near its surface. Unlike, however, ordinary metals …

Scattering theory of topological insulators and superconductors

IC Fulga, F Hassler, AR Akhmerov - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter …, 2012 - APS
The topological invariant of a topological insulator (or superconductor) is given by the
number of symmetry-protected edge states present at the Fermi level. Despite this fact …

Experimental observation of a generalized Thouless pump with a single spin

W Ma, L Zhou, Q Zhang, M Li, C Cheng, J Geng… - Physical review …, 2018 - APS
Adiabatic cyclic modulation of a one-dimensional periodic potential will result in quantized
charge transport, which is termed the Thouless pump. In contrast to the original Thouless …

Spin pumping and measurement of spin currents in optical superlattices

C Schweizer, M Lohse, R Citro, I Bloch - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
We report on the experimental implementation of a spin pump with ultracold bosonic atoms
in an optical superlattice. In the limit of isolated double wells, it represents a 1D dynamical …

Topological pumping of photons in nonlinear resonator arrays

J Tangpanitanon, VM Bastidas, S Al-Assam… - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
We show how to implement topological or Thouless pumping of interacting photons in one-
dimensional nonlinear resonator arrays by simply modulating the frequency of the …

[图书][B] Topological insulators: The physics of spin helicity in quantum transport

G Tkachov - 2015 - books.google.com
This book is the result of dynamic developments that have occurred in condensed matter
physics after the recent discovery of a new class of electronic materials: topological …

Topological classification of adiabatic processes

D Meidan, T Micklitz, PW Brouwer - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter …, 2011 - APS
Certain band insulators allow for the adiabatic pumping of quantized charge or spin for
special time dependences of the Hamiltonian. These “topological pumps” are closely related …

Geometric orbital magnetization in adiabatic processes

L Trifunovic, S Ono, H Watanabe - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We consider periodic adiabatic processes of gapped many-body spinless electrons. We find
an additional contribution to the orbital magnetization due to the adiabatic time evolution …

Quantized spin pumping in topological ferromagnetic-superconducting nanowires

VF Becerra, M Trif, T Hyart - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Semiconducting nanowires with strong spin-orbit coupling in the presence of induced
superconductivity and ferromagnetism can support Majorana zero modes. We study the …
