• Title: Interband coherence induced correction to Thouless pumping: possible observation in cold-atom systems
• Authors: Gudapati Naresh Raghava, Longwen Zhou and Jiangbin Gong
• Abstract summary: For nonequilibrium initial states, interband coherence will induce a previously unknown contribution to Thouless pumping. We show that initial states with interband coherence can be obtained via a quench of the system's Hamiltonian. By choosing adiabatic protocols with different switching-on speeds, we also show that the contribution of interband coherence to adiabatic pumping can be tuned.

• Abstract: In Thouless pump, the charge transport in a one-dimensional insulator over an adiabatic cycle is topologically quantized. For nonequilibrium initial states, however, interband coherence will induce a previously unknown contribution to Thouless pumping. Though not geometric in nature, this contribution is independent of the time scale of the pumping protocol. In this work, we perform a detailed analysis of our previous finding [Phys. Rev. B 91, 085420 (2015)] in an already available cold-atom setup. We show that initial states with interband coherence can be obtained via a quench of the system's Hamiltonian. Adiabatic pumping in the post-quench system are then examined both theoretically and numerically, in which the interband coherence is shown to play an important role and can hence be observed experimentally. By choosing adiabatic protocols with different switching-on speeds, we also show that the contribution of interband coherence to adiabatic pumping can be tuned. It is further proposed that the interband coherence induced correction to Thouless pumping may be useful in capturing a topological phase transition point. All our results have direct experimental interests.

  In the noninteracting case, quantized Thouless pumps can only occur when a topological singularity is encircled adiabatically. In the presence of interactions, such topological transport can even persist for exotic paths in which the system gets arbitrarily close to the noninteracting singularity.

• Topological pumping induced by spatiotemporal modulation of interaction [1.7518340290808412]
  We propose to use modulation of interaction to realize topological pumping without single-particle counterpart. Because the modulation breaks time-reversal symmetry, the multiparticle energy bands of bound states have none-zero Chern number. Our work could trigger further studies of correlated topological phenomena that do not have a single-particle counterpart.

We show that sufficiently large intersite interactions allow for an interaction-induced recovery of Thouless pumps.

  We report on an emergent mechanism for pumping in a quantum gas coupled to an optical resonator. Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration. This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.

• Correlation-Assisted Quantized Charge Pumping [0.0]
  We study a prototypical Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with finite-range interaction that gives rise to orbital charge density wave order. In the ordered phase, where the many-body topological invariant loses quantization, we find that not only is quantized charge pumping still possible, but it is even assisted by the collective nature of the orbital charge density wave order.
