• Authors: Christopher I. Timms, Lukas M. Sieberer, and Michael H. Kolodrubetz
• Abstract summary: We study the Floquet insulator, which exhibits topologically quantized chiral edge states similar to a Chern insulator. We find that the quantized response, given by partially filling the fermionic system and measuring charge pumped per cycle, remains quantized up to finite noise amplitude. This approach suggests an interpretation of the state of the system as a non-Hermitian Floquet topological phase.

• Abstract: Time-periodic (Floquet) drive is a powerful method to engineer quantum phases of matter, including fundamentally non-equilibrium states that are impossible in static Hamiltonian systems. One characteristic example is the anomalous Floquet insulator, which exhibits topologically quantized chiral edge states similar to a Chern insulator, yet is amenable to bulk localization. We study the response of this topological system to time-dependent noise, which breaks the topologically protecting Floquet symmetry. Surprisingly, we find that the quantized response, given by partially filling the fermionic system and measuring charge pumped per cycle, remains quantized up to finite noise amplitude. We trace this robust topology to an interplay between diffusion and Pauli blocking of edge state decay, which we expect should be robust against interactions. We determine the boundaries of the topological phase for a system with spatial disorder numerically through level statistics, and corroborate our results in the limit of vanishing disorder through an analytical Floquet superoperator approach. This approach suggests an interpretation of the state of the system as a non-Hermitian Floquet topological phase. We comment on quantization of other topological responses in the absence of Floquet symmetry and potential experimental realizations.

  We study simultaneous symmetry-breaking in a spontaneous Floquet state, focusing on the specific case of an atomic condensate. We first describe the quantization of the Nambu-Goldstone (NG) modes for a stationary state simultaneously breaking several symmetries of the Hamiltonian. We extend the formalism to Floquet states simultaneously breaking several symmetries, where Goldstone theorem translates into the emergence of Floquet-Nambu-Goldstone modes with zero quasi-energy.

  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.

  We show that an open bosonic quadratic chain exhibits topology-induced entanglement effect. When the system is in the topological phase, the edge modes can be entangled in the steady state, while no entanglement appears in the trivial phase. Our work reveals that the stationary entanglement can be a quantum signature of the topological phase in bosonic systems.

We show that oscillations persist even in the adiabatic phase because of a frequency independent coupling between zero modes and excited states.

  Localizable entanglement is studied on nontrivial loops of topological quantum codes with parallel magnetic field. We study the behavior of these lower bounds in the vicinity of the topological to nontopological quantum phase transition of the system. We find that in the case of the non-Markovian dephasing noise, at large time, the canonical measurement-based lower bound oscillates with a larger amplitude.
