• Abstract: We investigate the interaction between a topological insulator nanoparticle and a quantum dot in an impulse magnetic field. Since topological insulators are nonmagnetic, after the impulse has ended only the localised topological surface modes, which are quantised in terms of dipolar bosonic modes, thus coupling dipolarly to the quantum dot. Hence, the hybrid system can be treated as a single bosonic mode interacting with a two-level system, where the coupling strength is quantised in terms of the magnetoelectric polarizability. We implement the interaction of the hybrid with the environment through the coupling with a continuum reservoir of radiative output modes and a reservoir of phonon modes. Using the method of Zubarev's Green functions, we derive an expression for the optical absorption spectrum of the system. We find the emergence of Fano resonances which are direct manifestations of the $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ invariant of topological insulators. We present numerical results for a topological insulator nanosphere made of TlBiSe$_2$ interacting with a CdSe quantum dot.

  Topology and correlations are fundamental concepts in modern physics, but their simultaneous occurrence within a single quantum phase is exceptionally rare. We present the discovery of such a phase of matter in Ta2Pd3Te5, a semimetal where the Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes leads to the formation of excitonic bound states below T=100 K. Our spectroscopy unveils the development of an insulating gap stemming from the condensation of these excitons, thus giving rise to a highly sought-after correlated quantum phase known as the excitonic insulator.
