• Title: Engineering of topological phases in driven thin topological insulator: Structure inversion asymmetry effect
• Authors: S. Sajad Dabiri, Hosein Cheraghchi
• Abstract summary: We investigate the effect of a high frequency electromagnetic field with both of circularly and linearly polarization, on the emergence of quantum phases on thin topological insulators. We take our attention to the high frequency regime in which it is possible to consider an expansion for the Floquet Hamiltonian in terms of orders of 1/Omega. Some phase transitions between quantum anomalous Hall insulator, quantum pseudospin Hall insulator, quantum spin Hall insulator and normal insulator can be induced by altering the aforementioned parameters of the system.

• Abstract: We investigate the effect of a high frequency electromagnetic field with both of circularly and linearly polarization, on the emergence of quantum phases on thin topological insulators. Simultaneously, the influence of the system parameters (such as magnetic impurity, thickness engineering and structural inversion asymmetry of the potential) on emergence of topological phases is studied. We take our attention to the high frequency regime in which it is possible to consider an expansion for the Floquet Hamiltonian in terms of orders of 1/\Omega. The topological invariants are determined and it is demonstrated that some phase transitions between quantum anomalous Hall insulator, quantum pseudospin Hall insulator, quantum spin Hall insulator and normal insulator can be induced by altering the aforementioned parameters of the system. To avoid heating process, tuning of the system parameters gives us the opportunity to observe these phase transitions at small intensities of light.

  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.

  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.

This implies that the mean chiral displacement can detect the winding number even when the underlying Hamiltonian is quenched between different topological phases.
