• Abstract: Topological electronics has extended its richness to non-electronic systems where phonons and magnons can play the role of electrons. In particular, topological phases of magnons can be enabled by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) which acts as an effective spin-orbit coupling. We show that besides DMI, an alternating arrangement of Heisenberg exchange interactions critically determines the magnon band topology, realizing a magnonic analog of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. On a honeycomb ferromagnet with perpendicular anisotropy, we calculate the topological phase diagram, the chiral edge states, and the associated magnon Hall effect by allowing the relative strength of exchange interactions on different links to be tunable. Including weak phonon-magnon hybridization does not change the result. Candidate materials are discussed.

  A Rydberg atom interfaced with a structured arrangement of ground-state atoms possesses a direct mapping to a tight-binding Hamiltonian. We first confirm the existence of topologically-protected edge states in a Rydberg composite by mapping it to the paradigmatic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger dimer model. Following that, we study more complicated systems with trimer unit cells which can be easily simulated with a Rydberg composite.

  We find that electrons in the topological surface state efficiently mediate the effective electric dipole coupling between the spin of a ferromagnet and the electric field of the cavity. We refer to this coupling as topological magnon-photon interaction, estimating it one order of magnitude stronger than the conventional magnon-photon coupling.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

  We show how photon-mediated interactions give rise to a plaquette-ordered bond pattern in the atomic ground state. The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states. Our work shows how atomic quantum simulators can be harnessed to investigate novel strongly-correlated topological phenomena.
