• Authors: Souvik Bandyopadhyay and Amit Dutta
• Abstract summary: We prepare an out-of-equilibrium many-body Chern insulator (CI) and associated bulk-boundary correspondence unitarily. We show that a non-linear ramp may work more efficiently in approaching the topological state. We also compute the edge current in the time evolved state of the system under a semi-periodic boundary condition.

• Abstract: We approach the long-standing problem of preparing an out-of-equilibrium many-body Chern insulator (CI) and associated bulk-boundary correspondence unitarily. Herein, this is addressed by constructing a dynamical many-body Chern invariant exploiting the property of the bulk macroscopic electric polarisation (Resta polarisation) of the CI. This Chern invariant defined from observable correlations is also established to topologically classify many body Chern states in equilibrium. The non-equilibrium behavior of the invariant is probed by ramping the paradigmatic Haldane model of graphene from its trivial to the topological phase. We show that a non-linear ramp may work more efficiently in approaching the topological state, thereby establishing the existence of an optimal topological state preparation. Furthermore, to ensure the near adiabatic dynamics across the quantum critical point, we propose a novel counter-diabatic scheme. The topological nature of the prepared state is firmly established by observing an emerging $U(1)$ topological charge. We also compute the edge current in the time evolved state of the system under a semi-periodic boundary condition and clearly establish an adiabatic bulk-boundary correspondence which firmly ensconces the validity of the many-body invariant.

• Predicting Topological Entanglement Entropy in a Rydberg analog simulator [0.0]
  This work focuses on the dynamical preparation of a quantum-spin-liquid state on a Rydberg-atom simulator. The flexibility of our approach does not only allow one to match the physically correct form of the Rydberg-atom Hamiltonian but also the relevant lattice topology. We show that, while the simulated state exhibits (global) topological order and local properties resembling those of a resonating-valence-bond (RVB) state, it lacks the latter's characteristic topological entanglement entropy signature.

• Exact counterdiabatic driving for finite topological lattice models [0.0]
  Counterdiabatic driving is a technique to speed up adiabatic protocols by including additional terms calculated from the instantaneous eigenstates that counter diabatic excitations. We formulate this approach for all states of lattice models, including bound and in-gap states which appear, e.g., in topological insulators. The derived analytical counterdiabatic driving Hamiltonian can be utilised to inform control protocols in many-body lattice models or to probe the non-equilibrium properties of lattice models.

  We propose a strategy for fast preparation of a state with long-range topological order by magnetic field tuning of an initial separable state. For concreteness, we consider the ground state of the honeycomb Kitaev model whose long-range topological order together with the anyonic excitations make it an interesting candidate for fault-tolerant universal quantum computation and storage.

• Emergent topology under slow non-adiabatic quantum dynamics [2.132096006921048]
  We provide a generic non-adiabatic protocol of slowly quenching the system Hamiltonian. We find that the topological invariants of the post-quench Hamiltonian are characterized directly by the values of spin texture on the band surfaces. Our findings are not restricted to 1D and 2D topological phases under Coulomb-like quench protocol, but are also valid for higher dimensional system or different quench protocol.
