• Abstract: Bulk-boundary correspondence is a fundamental principle for topological phases where bulk topology determines gapless boundary states. On the other hand, it has been known that corner or hinge modes in higher order topological insulators may appear due to "extrinsic" topology of the boundaries even when the bulk topological numbers are trivial. In this paper, we find that Floquet anomalous boundary states in quantum walks have similar extrinsic topological natures. In contrast to higher order topological insulators, the extrinsic topology in quantum walks is manifest even for first-order topological phases. We present the topological table for extrinsic topology in quantum walks and illustrate extrinsic natures of Floquet anomalous boundary states in concrete examples.

  We propose a simple and universal platform of point-gap topological phases constructed from Hermitian topological insulators and superconductors. We show that (d-1)-dimensional point-gap topological phases are realized by making a boundary in d-dimensional topological insulators and superconductors dissipative.

• Bulk-boundary correspondence in point-gap topological phases [0.0]
  A striking feature of non-Hermitian systems is the presence of two different types of topology. One generalizes Hermitian topological phases, the other is intrinsic to non-Hermitian systems. This Letter establishes the bulk-boundary correspondence in the point-gap topology in non-Hermitian systems.

• Topological squashed entanglement: nonlocal order parameter for one-dimensional topological superconductors [0.0]
  We show the end-to-end, long-distance, bipartite squashed entanglement between the edges of a many-body system. For the Kitaev chain in the entire topological phase, the edge squashed entanglement is quantized to log(2)/2, half the maximal Bell-state entanglement, and vanishes in the trivial phase. Such topological squashed entanglement exhibits the correct scaling at the quantum phase transition, is stable in the presence of interactions, and is robust against disorder and local perturbations.

• Probing chiral edge dynamics and bulk topology of a synthetic Hall system [52.77024349608834]
  Quantum Hall systems are characterized by the quantization of the Hall conductance -- a bulk property rooted in the topological structure of the underlying quantum states. Here, we realize a quantum Hall system using ultracold dysprosium atoms, in a two-dimensional geometry formed by one spatial dimension. We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
