- Abstract: We investigate many-body topological and transport properties of a
one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) topological chain coupled to the
quantum field of a cavity mode. The quantum conductance is determined via
Green's function formalism in terms of light-matter eigenstates calculated via
exact diagonalization for a finite number of electrons. We show that the
topology of the cavity-embedded many-electron system is described by a
generalized electron-photon Zak marker. We reveal how the quantization of
transport is modified by the cavity vacuum fields for a finite-size chain and
how it is impacted by electronic disorder. Moreover, we show that
electron-photon entanglement produces dramatic differences with respect to the
prediction of mean-field theory, which strongly underestimates cavity-modified
effects.
