• Abstract summary: We propose an efficient scheme for simulating the topological phases of matter based on silicon-vacancy (SiV) center arrays in phononic crystals. Under a particular periodic microwave driving, the band-gap mediated spin-spin interaction can be further designed with the form of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) Hamiltonian. In momentum space, we investigate the topological characters of the SSH model, and show that the topological nontrivial phase can be obtained through modulating the periodic driving fields.

• Abstract: We propose an efficient scheme for simulating the topological phases of matter based on silicon-vacancy (SiV) center arrays in phononic crystals. This phononic band gap structure allows for long-range spin-spin interactions with a tunable profile. Under a particular periodic microwave driving, the band-gap mediated spin-spin interaction can be further designed with the form of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) Hamiltonian. In momentum space, we investigate the topological characters of the SSH model, and show that the topological nontrivial phase can be obtained through modulating the periodic driving fields. Furthermore, we explore the zero-energy topological edge states at the boundary of the color center arrays, and study the robust quantum information transfer via the topological edge states. This setup provides a scalable and promising platform for studying topological quantum physics and quantum information processing with color centers and phononic crystals.

The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states.
