• Abstract: Chiral edge states are the fingerprint of the bulk-edge correspondence in a Chern insulator. Co-propagating edge modes, known as antichiral edge states, have been predicted to occur in the so-called modified Haldane model describing a two-dimensional semi-metal with broken time reversal symmetry. These counterintuitive edge modes are argued to be immune to backscattering and extremely robust against disorder. Here, we investigate the robustness of the antichiral edge states in the presence of Anderson disorder. By analysing different localization parameters, we show that, contrary to the general belief, these edge modes are fragile against disorder, and can be easily localized. Our work provides insights to improve the transport efficiency in the burgeoning fields of antichiral topological photonics and acoustics.

  The Kitaev chains on a square lattice with nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor inter-chains hopping and pairing are investigated. This model exhibits topological gapless phase hosting edge modes, which do not reside strictly at zero energy. The emergence of topological edge states and Dirac points with zero Chern number indicates that this model is a weak topological superconductor.

• Multiple polaritonic edge states in a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain strongly coupled to a multimode cavity [0.0]
  Dipolar emitters strongly coupled to a multimode optical waveguide cavity are studied. In the strong-coupling regime, the cavity photons hybridize the bright dipolar bulk band into a polaritonic one. We find that bulk polaritons entering in resonance with the edge states inherit part of their localization properties.

  Inherent symmetry of a quantum system may protect its otherwise fragile states. We implement the one-dimensional kicked Ising model which exhibits non-local Majorana edge modes (MEMs) with $mathbbZ$ parity symmetry. MEMs are found to be resilient against certain symmetry-breaking noise owing to a prethermalization mechanism.

  Key aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence can be captured in terms of tensor network models on hyperbolic lattices. For tensors fulfilling the matchgate constraint, these have previously been shown to produce disordered boundary states. We show that these Hamiltonians exhibit multi-scale quasiperiodic symmetries captured by an analytical toy model.
