• Abstract: We consider the emergence of edge states in a finite optical lattice and show that the boundaries of the lattice play a decisive role for their location in the corresponding energy spectrum. We introduce a simple parametrisation of the boundaries of the optical lattice and demonstrate the existence of an optimal choice of the values of the parameters which lead to an approximate restoration of chiral symmetry. A crucial property of this optimization is the suppression of tunneling between next-nearest neighboring wells of the lattice. This in turn allows the mapping of the optical lattice set-up to a finite SSH model. The topological character of the emerging edge states is discussed.

• Relative Representations: Topological and Geometric Perspectives [53.88896255693922]
  Relative representations are an established approach to zero-shot model stitching. We introduce a normalization procedure in the relative transformation, resulting in invariance to non-isotropic rescalings and permutations. Second, we propose to deploy topological densification when fine-tuning relative representations, a topological regularization loss encouraging clustering within classes.

  Geometry-agnostic system identification is a technique for identifying the geometry and physical properties of an object from video sequences without any geometric assumptions. Recently, physics-augmented continuum neural radiance fields (PAC-NeRF) has demonstrated promising results for this technique. We propose Lagrangian particle optimization (LPO), in which the positions and features of particles are optimized through video sequences in Lagrangian space.

  Photonic orbital angular momentum serves as a suitable synthetic dimension. We make a sharp boundary along a synthetic OAM dimension and form approximate semi-infinite lattices by drilling a pinhole on the optical elements in a cavity. Our work provides a new perspective to observe edge effects and explore practical photonics tools.

We show how to efficiently prepare particles in these edge modes in three distinct Floquet topological regimes. We study how edge modes emerge at the interface and how the group velocity of the particles is modified as the sharpness of the potential step is varied.

  We focus on the Kane-Mele model with and without Rashba spin-orbit coupling as a well-known model. We derive explicit expressions for the wave functions, energy dispersion relations, and the spin rotations of the (generic) helical edge states. Our perturbative framework also allows deriving an explicit form for the rotation of the spins of the momentum edge states in the absence of axial spin symmetry.

  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.
