• Title: Role of Bath-Induced Many-Body Interactions in the Dissipative Phases of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger Model
• Authors: Brett Min, Kartiek Agarwal, Dvira Segal,
• Abstract summary: The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain is a prototype example of a symmetry-protected topological insulator. Coupling it non-perturbatively to local thermal environments, either through the intercell or the intracell fermion tunneling elements, modifies the topological window. We employ the recently developed reaction-coordinate polaron transform (RCPT) method, which allows treating system-bath interactions at arbitrary strengths.

• Abstract: The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain is a prototype example of a symmetry-protected topological insulator. Coupling it non-perturbatively to local thermal environments, either through the intercell or the intracell fermion tunneling elements, modifies the topological window. To understand this effect, we employ the recently developed reaction-coordinate polaron transform (RCPT) method, which allows treating system-bath interactions at arbitrary strengths. The effective system Hamiltonian, which is obtained via the RCPT, exposes the impact of the baths on the SSH chain through renormalization of tunneling elements and the generation of many-body interaction terms. By performing exact diagonalization and computing the ensemble geometric phase, a topological invariant applicable even to systems at finite temperature, we distinguish the trivial band insulator (BI) from the topological insulator (TI) phases. Furthermore, through the RCPT mapping, we are able to pinpoint the main mechanism behind the extension of the parameter space for the TI or the BI phases (depending on the coupling scheme, intracell or intercell), which is the bath-induced, dimerized, many-body interaction. We also study the effect of on-site staggered potentials on the SSH phase diagram, and discuss extensions of our method to higher dimensions.

  We discuss the physics of dissipatively coupled Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) lattices in systems with bosonic and electrical constituents. We show that a series of resistively coupled LCR circuits mimics the topology of a dissipatively coupled SSH model. We also elucidate the emergence of non-reciprocal dissipative coupling which can be controlled by the phase of the coherent interaction strength precipitating in phase-dependent topological transitions and skin effect.

  We present a non-standard Hubbard model applicable to arbitrary single-particle potential profiles and inter-particle interactions. Our investigation demonstrates that long-range inter-particle interactions can induce a novel mechanism for repulsive particle pairing. These findings carry significant implications for various phenomena, including the formation of flat bands, the emergence of superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene, and the possibility of a novel metal-insulator transition.

  We study the topology and localization properties of a generalized Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model with a quasi-periodic hopping. It is found that the interplay of off-diagonal quasi-periodic modulations can induce topological Anderson insulator phases and reentrant topological Anderson insulator (RTAI) We find that the TAI and RTAI can induce the emergence of reentrant localization transitions.

We show explicitly that the OTOC is indeed a precise tool to explore the fine details of the Eigenstate Thermalisation Hypothesis (ETH) We provide an estimation of the finite-size scaling of $omega_textrmGOE$ for the general class of observables composed of sums of local operators in the infinite-temperature regime.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

  We propose two kinds of distinguishing parameter regimes to induce topological Su-Schrieffer-Heeger phase in a 1D cavity optomechanical system. We find that the tight-binding Hamiltonian can be mapped into a topological SSH phase via modifying the Bessel function. We also construct an analogous bosonic Kitaev model with the trivial topology by keeping the Stokes heating processes.
