Tailoring quantum gases by Floquet engineering

C Weitenberg, J Simonet - Nature Physics, 2021 - nature.com
Floquet engineering is the concept of tailoring a system by a periodic drive, and it is
increasingly employed in many areas of physics. Ultracold atoms in optical lattices offer a …

Signatures of fractional quantum anomalous Hall states in twisted MoTe2

J Cai, E Anderson, C Wang, X Zhang, X Liu… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
The interplay between spontaneous symmetry breaking and topology can result in exotic
quantum states of matter. A celebrated example is the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) state …

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 …

Quantum critical points and the sign problem

R Mondaini, S Tarat, RT Scalettar - Science, 2022 - science.org
The “sign problem”(SP) is a fundamental limitation to simulations of strongly correlated
matter. It is often argued that the SP is not intrinsic to the physics of particular Hamiltonians …

Band geometry, Berry curvature, and superfluid weight

L Liang, TI Vanhala, S Peotta, T Siro, A Harju, P Törmä - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We present a theory of the superfluid weight in multiband attractive Hubbard models within
the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) mean-field framework. We show how to separate the …

Topological Mott insulator at quarter filling in the interacting Haldane model

P Mai, BE Feldman, PW Phillips - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
While the recent advances in topology have led to a classification scheme for electronic
bands described by the standard theory of metals, a similar scheme has not emerged for …

Emergence of the chern supermetal and pair-density wave through higher-order van hove singularities in the haldane-hubbard model

P Castro, D Shaffer, YM Wu, LH Santos - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS

understanding the interplay of band topology and electronic interactions remains a frontier …

Real-space detection and manipulation of topological edge modes with ultracold atoms

C Braun, R Saint-Jalm, A Hesse, J Arceri, I Bloch… - Nature Physics, 2024 - nature.com
The bulk–boundary correspondence, a fundamental principle relating the topological
invariants of the bulk to the presence of edge states, is modified in periodically driven …

Excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensate and the quantum geometry of a flat band

A Julku, GM Bruun, P Törmä - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
The quantum geometry of Bloch states fundamentally affects a wide range of physical
phenomena. The quantum Hall effect, for example, is governed by the Chern number, and …
