Mirror-symmetry-protected dynamical quantum phase transitions in topological crystalline insulators

نویسندگان

چکیده

Dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) are topologically characterized in quench dynamics topological systems. In this paper, we study Loschmidt amplitudes and DQPTs quenches mirror-symmetric phases. Based on the classification of insulators, show that mirror symmetry creates symmetry-protected DQPTs. If is present, robust can occur quenches, even high-dimensional time-reversal invariant Then, also two-dimensional chiral-symmetric systems with symmetry. Mirror-symmetry-protected be easily captured by a reduced rate function. Moreover, introduce dynamical order parameters for mirror-symmetry-protected Finally, demonstrate using lattice models crystalline insulator higher-order insulator.

Symmetry protected Josephson supercurrents in three-dimensional topological insulators.

Coupling the surface state of a topological insulator to an s-wave superconductor is predicted to produce the long-sought Majorana quasiparticle excitations. However, superconductivity has not been measured in surface states when the bulk charge carriers are fully depleted, that is, in the true topological regime relevant for investigating Majorana modes. Here we report measurements of d.c. Jos...

Dynamical quantum phase transitions in systems with broken-symmetry phases.

In this Letter it is shown that dynamical quantum phase transitions in Loschmidt echos control the nonequilibrium dynamics of the order parameter after particular quantum quenches in systems with broken-symmetry phases. A direct connection between Loschmidt echos and the order parameter dynamics is established which links nonequilibrium microscopic probabilities to the system's macroscopic dyna...

Dynamical Quantum Phase Transitions in Systems with Continuous Symmetry Breaking

Interacting many-body systems that are driven far away from equilibrium can exhibit phase transitions between dynamically emerging quantum phases, which manifest as singularities in the Loschmidt echo. Whether and under which conditions such dynamical transitions occur in higher-dimensional systems with spontaneously broken continuous symmetries is largely elusive thus far. Here, we study the d...

Topological crystalline insulators.

The recent discovery of topological insulators has revived interest in the band topology of insulators. In this Letter, we extend the topological classification of band structures to include certain crystal point group symmetry. We find a class of three-dimensional "topological crystalline insulators" which have metallic surface states with quadratic band degeneracy on high symmetry crystal sur...
