Published: May 2017

The relationship of topological insulators and superconductors and the field of nonlinear dynamics is widely unexplored. To address this subject, we adopt the linear coupling geometry of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, a paradigmatic example for a topological insulator, and render it nonlinearly in the context of superconducting circuits. As a consequence, the system exhibits topologically enforced bifurcations as a function of the topological control parameter, which finally gives rise to chaotic dynamics, separating phases that exhibit clear topological features.

Floquet analysis on an irradiated nodal surface semimetal with non-symmorphic symmetry.

A nodal surface semimetal (NSSM) features symmetry enforced band crossings along a surface within the three-dimensional (3D) Brillouin zone (BZ) and a presence of a nonsymmorphic symmetry there pushes such surfaces to stick to the BZ center or boundaries. The topological robustness of the same does not always come with nonzero Berry fluxes. We consider two such NS, one with zero and another with nonzero topological charges and investigate the effect of light irradiation on them.

By introducing first-order quantum phases as topological invariants, recent symmetry analysis-based theories have reinvigorated magnetic quantum oscillations as a versatile quantum probe for unfolding the Fermi surface topology along with the geometry information, i.e., topo-Fermiology.

Structural imperfections can be a promising testbed to engineer the symmetries and topological states of solid-state platforms. Here, we present direct evidence of hierarchical transitions of zero- (0D) and one-dimensional (1D) topological states in symmetry-enforced grain boundaries (GB) in 1T'-MoTe. Using a scanning tunneling microscope tip press-and-pulse procedure, we construct two distinct types of GBs, which are differentiated by the underlying symmorphic and nonsymmorphic symmetries.

The interplay of topology, magnetism, and correlations gives rise to intriguing phases of matter. In this study, through state-of-the-art angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, density functional theory, and dynamical mean-field theory calculations, we visualize a fourfold degenerate Dirac nodal line at the boundary of the bulk Brillouin zone in the antiferromagnet YMnGe. We further demonstrate that this gapless, antiferromagnetic Dirac nodal line is enforced by the combination of magnetism, space-time inversion symmetry, and nonsymmorphic lattice symmetry.

Since the rise of deep learning, new medical segmentation methods have rapidly been proposed with extremely promising results, often reporting marginal improvements on the previous state-of-the-art (SOTA) method. However, on visual inspection errors are often revealed, such as topological mistakes (e.g.
