- Abstract summary: We study Thouless pumps, i.e., adiabatic topological transport, in an interacting spin chain described by the dimerized XXZ Hamiltonian.
In the noninteracting case, quantized Thouless pumps can only occur when a topological singularity is encircled adiabatically.
In the presence of interactions, such topological transport can even persist for exotic paths in which the system gets arbitrarily close to the singularity.

- Abstract: We study Thouless pumps, i.e., adiabatic topological transport, in an
interacting spin chain described by the dimerized XXZ Hamiltonian. In the
noninteracting case, quantized Thouless pumps can only occur when a topological
singularity is encircled adiabatically. In contrast, here we show that, in the
presence of interactions, such topological transport can even persist for
exotic paths in which the system gets arbitrarily close to the singularity. We
illustrate the robustness of these exotic Thouless pumps through the behavior
of the noninteracting singularity, which for sufficiently strong interactions
splits into two singularities separated by a spontaneous antiferromagnetic
insulator. We perform a numerical benchmark of these phenomena by means of
tensor network simulations of ground-state physics and real-time adiabatic
dynamics. Finally, we propose an experimental protocol with Floquet-driven
Rydberg tweezer arrays.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

We propose a mechanism to perform topological pumping in arrays of spin chains with complex geometries.
We show that due to the topological protection, the quantum superpositions can be transported through the array against the effect of disorder.
Our ideas can be realized in state-of-the-art quantum simulators such as cold atoms and superconducting qubit arrays.

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.
