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 …

A Thouless quantum pump with ultracold bosonic atoms in an optical superlattice

M Lohse, C Schweizer, O Zilberberg, M Aidelsburger… - Nature Physics, 2016 - nature.com
Topological charge pumping enables the transport of charge through an adiabatic cyclic
evolution of the underlying Hamiltonian. In contrast to classical transport, the transported …

Topological Thouless pumping of ultracold fermions

S Nakajima, T Tomita, S Taie, T Ichinose, H Ozawa… - Nature Physics, 2016 - nature.com
An electron gas in a one-dimensional periodic potential can be transported even in the
absence of a voltage bias if the potential is slowly and periodically modulated in time …

Synthetic spin-orbit coupling in an optical lattice clock

ML Wall, AP Koller, S Li, X Zhang, NR Cooper, J Ye… - Physical review …, 2016 - APS
We propose the use of optical lattice clocks operated with fermionic alkaline-earth atoms to
study spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in interacting many-body systems. The SOC emerges …

Fibonacci optical lattices for tunable quantum quasicrystals

K Singh, K Saha, SA Parameswaran, DM Weld - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
We describe a quasiperiodic optical lattice, created by a physical realization of the abstract
cut-and-project construction underlying all quasicrystals. The resulting potential is a …

Topological charge pumping by a sliding moiré pattern

M Fujimoto, H Koschke, M Koshino - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We study the adiabatic topological charge pumping driven by interlayer sliding in the moiré
