• Abstract: Topological phases have been reported on self-similar structures in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. Here, we present an understanding of these phases from a perspective of spectral flow and charge pumping. We study the Harper-Hofstadter model on self-similar structures constructed from the Sierpinski gasket. We numerically investigate the spectral flow and the associated charge pumping when a flux tube is inserted through the structure and the flux through the tube is varied adiabatically. We find that the nature of the spectral flow is qualitatively different from that of translationally invariant non-interacting systems with a perpendicular magnetic field. We show that the instantaneous eigenspectra can be used to understand the quantization of the charge pumped over a cycle, and hence to understand the topological character of the system. We show the correspondence between the local contributions to the Hall conductivity and the spectral flow of the edge-like states. We also show that the edge-like states can be approximated by eigenstates of the discrete angular-momentum operator, their chiral nature being a consequence of this.

  We study the dynamics of EVBs in magnetic fields using exact solutions of the relativistic paraxial equation in magnetic fields.

This work offers new insights into the dynamics of EVBs in magnetic fields and suggests practical applications in beam manipulation and beam optics of vortex particles.

• Observation of topological transitions associated with a Weyl exceptional ring [1.877600262062263]
  Weyl exceptional rings (WER), extended from point-like singularities, are particularly interesting. We here investigate this topology in a circuit, where the WER is synthesized with a superconducting qubit controllably coupled to a decaying resonator. We demonstrate a topological transition triggered by shrinking the size of the manifold$-$a unique feature of the WER.

• Subradiant edge states in an atom chain with waveguide-mediated hopping [0.0]
  We analyze a system formed by two chains of identical emitters coupled to a waveguide, whose guided modes induce excitation hopping. We find that, in the single excitation limit, the bulk topological properties of the Hamiltonian that describes the coherent dynamics of the system are identical to the ones of a one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. We analytically identify parameter regimes where edge states arise which are fully localized to the boundaries of the chain, independently of the system size.

  We report on an emergent mechanism for pumping in a quantum gas coupled to an optical resonator. Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration. This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.

  We show that the winding number of the Hamiltonian eigenstates can be read-out by measuring the mean chiral displacement of a single-particle wavefunction. This implies that the mean chiral displacement can detect the winding number even when the underlying Hamiltonian is quenched between different topological phases.
