چکیده
We propose a new theory to characterize equilibrium topological phase with non-equilibrium quantum dynamics by introducing the concept of high-order charges, novel phenomena being predicted. Through dimension reduction approach, we can $d$-dimensional ($d$D) integer-invariant lower-dimensional number quantified which $s$th-order charges denote monopoles confined on $(s-1)$th-order band inversion surfaces (BISs) that are $(d-s+1)$D momentum subspaces. The bulk topology is determined $s$th order enclosed BISs. By quenching system from trivial regime, show post-quench Hamiltonian be detected through dynamical bulk-surface correspondence, in both and BISs identified quench dynamics. This characterization has essential advantages two aspects. First, highest ($d$th) characterized only discrete signs spin-polarization zero (i.e. $0$th Chern numbers), whose measurement much easier than $1$st-order continuous charge-related spin texture higher dimensional space. Secondly, more striking result first-order high integer-valued charge always reduces multiple highest-order unit value, latter readily experiment. fundamental features greatly simplify detection also phases, shall advance experimental studies near future.

Characterizing the intermediate phases through topological analysis
I review computational studies of different models of elastic network selforganization leading to the existence of a globally isostatic (rigid but unstressed) or nearly isostatic intermediate phase. A common feature of all models considered here is that only the topology of the elastic network is taken into account; this allows the use of an extremely efficient constraint counting algorithm, th...
متن کاملCharacterizing Topological Order in Superconducting Systems
Two established frameworks account for the onset of a gap in a superconducting system: one is based on spontaneous symmetry breaking via the Anderson-Higgs-Kibble mechanism, and the other is based on the recently developed paradigm of topological order. We show that, on manifolds with non trivial topology, both mechanisms yield a degeneracy of the ground state arising only from the incompressib...

We numerically investigate crystalline order on negative Gaussian curvature capillary bridges. In agreement with the experimental results in [W. Irvine et al., Nature, Pleats in crystals on curved surfaces, 2010, 468, 947] we observe for decreasing integrated Gaussian curvature, a sequence of transitions, from no defects to isolated dislocations, pleats, scars and isolated sevenfold disclinatio...
متن کاملTopological Charges of Noncommutative Soliton
The noncommutative soliton is characterized by the use of the projection operators in non-commutative space. By using the close relation with the K-theory of C∗-algebra, we consider the variations of projection operators along the commutative directions and identify their topological charges. When applied to the string theory, it gives the modification of the brane charges due to tachyon backgr...
متن کاملEntanglement in Topological Phases
In this report, the research conducted on entanglement in topological phases is detailed and summarized. This includes background developed and an explanation of the structure of the code written it MATLAB to compute various aspects of entanglement for topological systems. Topological phases are generally those that cannot be described by Landau symmetry-breaking, including the fractional quant...
