Interacting topological insulators: a review

S Rachel - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The discovery of the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators more than a decade
ago has revolutionized modern condensed matter physics. Today, the field of topological …

Chiral Mott insulators, Meissner effect, and Laughlin states in quantum ladders

A Petrescu, K Le Hur - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
We introduce generic bosonic models exemplifying that chiral Meissner currents can persist
in insulating phases of matter. We first consider interacting bosons on a two-leg ladder. The …

Construction of bosonic symmetry-protected-trivial states and their topological invariants via nonlinear models

XG Wen - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
It has been shown that the bosonic symmetry-protected-trivial (SPT) phases with pure gauge
anomalous boundary can all be realized via nonlinear σ models (NL σ Ms) of the symmetry …

Bosonic integer quantum hall effect in an interacting lattice model

YC He, S Bhattacharjee, R Moessner, F Pollmann - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
We study a bosonic model with correlated hopping on a honeycomb lattice, and show that its
ground state is a bosonic integer quantum Hall (BIQH) phase, a prominent example of a …

Bosonic anomalies, induced fractional quantum numbers, and degenerate zero modes: The anomalous edge physics of symmetry-protected topological states

JC Wang, LH Santos, XG Wen - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
The boundary of symmetry-protected topological states (SPTs) can harbor new quantum
anomaly phenomena. In this work, we characterize the bosonic anomalies introduced by the …

Vortex-line condensation in three dimensions: a physical mechanism for bosonic topological insulators

P Ye, ZC Gu - Physical Review X, 2015 - APS
Bosonic topological insulators (BTIs) in three dimensions are symmetry-protected
topological phases protected by time-reversal and boson number conservation symmetries …

Topological quantum field theory of three-dimensional bosonic Abelian-symmetry-protected topological phases

P Ye, ZC Gu - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
Symmetry-protected topological phases (SPT) are short-range entangled gapped states
protected by global symmetry. Nontrivial SPT phases cannot be adiabatically connected to …

Chiral bosonic phases on the Haldane honeycomb lattice

I Vasić, A Petrescu, K Le Hur, W Hofstetter - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
Recent experiments in ultracold atoms and photonic analogs have reported the
implementation of artificial gauge fields in lattice systems, facilitating the realization of …

Stroboscopic symmetry-protected topological phases

T Iadecola, LH Santos, C Chamon - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
Symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases of matter have been the focus of many recent
theoretical investigations, but controlled mechanisms for engineering them have so far been …

Multikink topological terms and charge-binding domain-wall condensation induced symmetry-protected topological states: Beyond chern-simons/bf field theories

ZC Gu, JC Wang, XG Wen - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
Quantum disordering a discrete-symmetry-breaking state by condensing domain walls can
lead to a trivial symmetric insulator state. In this work, we show that if we bind a one …
