• Abstract: Recently, anomalous Floquet topological phases without static counterparts have been observed in different systems, where periodically driven models are realized to support a winding number of 1 and a pair of edge modes in each quasienergy gap. Here, we focus on cold atomic gases in optical lattices and propose a novel driving scheme that breaks rotation symmetry but maintains inversion symmetry of the instantaneous Hamiltonian, and discover a novel type of anomalous Floquet topological phase with winding number larger than 1. By analyzing the condition of band touching under symmetry constraint, we map out the phase diagram exactly by varying the driving parameters and discuss the quasienergy spectra of typical topological phases, which can present multiple pairs of edge modes within a single gap. Finally, we suggest to characterize the topology of such phases by detecting the band inversion surfaces via quench dynamics.

• Multipole and fracton topological order via gauging foliated SPT phases [0.0]
  In accordance with the progress of multipole symmetries, there have been proposed topological phases with such symmetries. These topological phases are unconventional as excitations are subject to mobility constraints corresponding to the multipole symmetries. We demonstrate a way to construct such phases by preparing layers of symmetry protected topological phases and implementing gauging a global symmetry.

  An anomalous Floquet topological phase can in general generate more robust chiral edge motion than a Haldane phase. Our results demonstrate that the rich interplay of wave packet dynamics and topological edge states can serve as a versatile tool in ultracold quantum gases in optical lattices.

We characterize the resilience to disorder of the different phases and their stability, gain, and noise-to-signal ratio. We discuss their experimental implementation with state-of-the-art techniques.

• Symmetry-protected topological corner modes in a periodically driven interacting spin lattice [0.0]
  Floquet symmetry protected second-order topological phases in a simple but insightful two-dimensional spin-1/2 lattice. We show that corner localized $mathbbZ$ symmetry broken operators commute and anticommute with the one-period time evolution operator. We propose a means to detect the signature of such modes in experiments and discuss the effect of imperfections.

We find that this entanglement transition is well identified by a combination of the bipartite entanglement entropy and the topological entanglement entropy.

  We study the manipulation of Majorana zero modes in a thin disk made from a $p$-wave superconductor. We analyze the second-order topological corner modes that arise when an in-plane magnetic field is applied. We show that oscillations persist even in the adiabatic phase because of a frequency independent coupling between zero modes and excited states.

  Quantum emitters interacting with photonic band-gap materials lead to the appearance of qubit-photon bound states. We study the features of the qubit-photon bound states when the emitters couple to the bulk modes in the different phases. We consider the coupling of emitters to the edge modes appearing in the different topological phases.

  We show that the setup in a zigzag optical lattice provides a perfect platform to realize symmetry-protected topological phase transitions. By using infinite time-evolving block decimation, we obtain the phase diagram in a large parameter regions. We find another scheme to realize the long-sought vector chiral phase, which is robust from quantum fluctuations.

  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.
