• Abstract: Quantum simulation, as a state-of-art technique, provides the powerful way to explore topological quantum phases beyond natural limits. Nevertheless, a previously-not-realized three-dimensional (3D) chiral topological insulator, and demonstrate by quantum quenches a complete study of both the bulk and surface topological physics. First, a dynamical bulk-surface correspondence in momentum space is observed, showing that the bulk topology of the 3D phase uniquely corresponds to the nontrivial quench dynamics emerging on 2D momentum hypersurfaces called band inversion surfaces (BISs), equivalent to the bulk-boundary correspondence in real space. Further, the symmetry protection of the 3D chiral phase is uncovered by measuring dynamical spin textures on BISs, which exhibit perfect (broken) topology when the chiral symmetry is preserved (broken). Finally we measure the topological charges to characterize directly the bulk topology, and identify an emergent dynamical topological transition when varying the quenches from deep to shallow regimes. This work opens a new avenue of quantum simulation towards for the complete study of topological quantum phases.

  Generative models have shown great promise in generating 3D geometric systems. Existing approaches only operate on static structures, neglecting the fact that physical systems are always dynamic in nature. We propose geometric trajectory diffusion models (GeoTDM), the first diffusion model for modeling the temporal distribution of 3D geometric trajectories.

We show how to efficiently prepare particles in these edge modes in three distinct Floquet topological regimes. We study how edge modes emerge at the interface and how the group velocity of the particles is modified as the sharpness of the potential step is varied.

  Floquet engineering provides a toolbox for the realization of novel quantum phases without static counterparts. We propose a scheme to realize unconventional Floquet topological phases by engineering local band structures in particular momentum subspace called band surfaces (BISs) This scheme is based on a new bulk-boundary correspondence that for a class of generic $d$-dimensional periodically driven systems, the local topological structure formed in each BIS uniquely determines the features of gapless boundary modes.

  We propose to efficiently characterize photonic topological phases via holographic quench dynamics. Key prediction is that the complete topological information of the Hamiltonian is extracted from quench dynamics solely in the time domain. This work also shows that the photonic synthetic frequency dimension provides an efficient and powerful way to explore the topological non-equilibrium dynamics.

  Quantum Hall systems are characterized by the quantization of the Hall conductance -- a bulk property rooted in the topological structure of the underlying quantum states. Here, we realize a quantum Hall system using ultracold dysprosium atoms, in a two-dimensional geometry formed by one spatial dimension. We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
