• Abstract: The high-order harmonic generation in finite topological nanoribbons is investigated using a tight-binding description. The ribbons consist of hexagons and are almost one-dimensional. Two edge states emerge at the short edges of the ribbon after a gap closure between valence and conduction band, indicating a topological phase transition. The energies of those edge states as functions of the tight-binding parameters display crossings and avoided crossings, which influence the high-harmonic spectra.

  We study the existence of topological edge zero- and pi-modes despite the lack of bulk gaps in the quasienergy spectrum. We numerically study the effect of interactions, which give a finite lifetime to the edge modes in the thermodynamic limit with the decay rate consistent with Fermi's Golden Rule.

  We show the emergence of unconventional, non-reciprocal, long-range dissipative couplings induced by the interaction of the bosonic chain with a chiral, multi-mode channel. We also show how these couplings can also stabilize topological amplifying phases in the presence of local parametric drivings.

  We explore the edge zigzag properties of rectangular graphene nanoribbons featuring two edges and two armchair edges. Although the self-consistent Hartree-Fock fields break chiral symmetry, our work demonstrates that graphene nanoribbons maintain their status as short-range entangled symmetry-protected topological insulators.

  Graphene zigzag nanoribbons undergo a topological phase transition into crossover phases distinguished by quasi-topological order. Entanglement increases as more carbon lines are grouped together, regardless of the lines' chirality. No long-range entanglement was found in the symmetry-protected phase in the absence of disorder.

  Long-range couplings in the Kitaev chain is shown to modify the universal scaling of topological states close to the critical point. We prove that the Majorana states become increasingly delocalised at a universal rate which is only determined by the interaction range.

We characterize the resilience to disorder of the different phases and their stability, gain, and noise-to-signal ratio. We discuss their experimental implementation with state-of-the-art techniques.
