• Abstract: Floquet topological systems have been shown to exhibit features not commonly found in conventional topological systems such as topological phases characterized by arbitrarily large winding numbers. This is clearly highlighted in the quantum double kicked rotor coupled to spin-1/2 degrees of freedom [Phys. Rev. A 97, 063603 (2018)] where large winding numbers are achieved by tuning the kick strengths. Here, we extend the results to the spin-1/2 quantum double kicked top and find not only does the system exhibit topological regions with large winding numbers, but a large number of them are needed to fully characterize the topology of the Bloch sphere of the top for general kick strengths. Due to the geometry of the Bloch sphere it is partitioned into regions with different topology and the boundaries separating them are home to 0 and $\pi$ quasienergy bound states. We characterize the regions by comparing local versions of the mean field, quantum and mean chiral displacement winding numbers. We also use a probe state to locate the boundaries by observing localization as the state evolves when it has a large initial overlap with bound states. Finally, we briefly discuss the connections between the spin-1/2 quantum double kicked top and multi-step quantum walks, putting the system in the context of some current experiments in the exploration of topological phases.

• Geometry and Entanglement of Super-Qubit Quantum States [0.0]
  We introduce the super-qubit quantum state, determined by superposition of the zero and the one super-particle states. The one qubit state is characterized by points in extended complex plain, equivalent to another super-Bloch sphere. The super-coherent states are fermion-boson entangled, and the concurrence of states is the product of two concurrences.

• Direct Measurement of Topological Number by Quench Dynamics [3.0595477102037694]
  We propose a new dynamical protocol to measure the topological number of an unknown system. We prove a theorem that when the momentum varies by $2pi$, the phase of the wavefunction overlap change by $Delta npi$ where $Delta n$ is the topological number difference between the initial Bloch band and the final Bloch band. Based on this and the known topological number of the final Bloch band, we can directly deduce the topological number of the initial state from the particle number distribution and need not track the evolution of the system nor measure the spin texture.

• 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.

We experimentally observe that dissipationless chiral edge states in a spin-orbit coupled anomalous Floquet topological phase exhibit topological spin texture on boundaries, realized via a two-dimensional quantum walk.

  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.

We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
