• Authors: Nassima Benchtaber, David S\'anchez, Lloren\c{c} Serra
• Abstract summary: Trivial confinement corresponds to the same polarity of all top gates, which is opposed to that of all bottom ones. Topological confinement requires the polarity of part of the top-bottom pairs of gates to be reversed. We show that the main qualitative difference between trivial and topological bound states manifests itself in the magnetic field dependence.

• Abstract: We discuss and compare two different types of confinement in bilayer graphene by top and bottom gating with symmetrical microelectrodes. Trivial confinement corresponds to the same polarity of all top gates, which is opposed to that of all bottom ones. Topological confinement requires the polarity of part of the top-bottom pairs of gates to be reversed. We show that the main qualitative difference between trivial and topological bound states manifests itself in the magnetic field dependence. We illustrate our finding with an explicit calculation of the energy spectrum for quantum dots and rings. Trivial confinement shows bunching of levels into degenerate Landau bands, with a non-centered gap, while topological confinement shows no field-induced gap and a sequence of state branches always crossing zero-energy.

• 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.

  Topological phases of light exhibit unique properties beyond the realm of conventional photonics. We propose a mechanism to induce topological transitions via accidental Dirac points in metasurfaces composed of interacting dipole emitters/antennas. This mechanism could have important implications for other topological phases such as photonic higher-order topological insulators.

By joining two structures with different spatial modulations, we find long-lived interface states which may have applications in storage and quantum information processing.
