Abstract: Rydberg lattice gases are at the forefront of quantum simulation platforms due to their inherent strong dipole-dipole interactions, long life-times and high degree of control currently achievable in experiments. We propose a simple and experimentally realizable two-dimensional lattice model consisting of two offset square sublattices of Rydberg atoms for the simulation of a so-called two-dimensional SSH model. This model reveals a plethora of topological phases, all connected through the variation of the lattice geometry. We predict the appearance of edge and corner states characterizing topological insulators, as well as pairs of topologically charged Dirac points associated with tilted and anisotropic cones in gapless semimetallic phases. The position, tilt and degree of anisotropy of the cones, which may determine the transport porperties of the system, are tunable via the sublattice offset parameters.

Higher-order topological Peierls insulator in a two-dimensional atom-cavity system [58.720142291102135]
We show how photon-mediated interactions give rise to a plaquette-ordered bond pattern in the atomic ground state. The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states. Our work shows how atomic quantum simulators can be harnessed to investigate novel strongly-correlated topological phenomena.

Real-space detection and manipulation of topological edge modes with ultracold atoms [56.34005280792013]
We demonstrate an experimental protocol for realizing chiral edge modes in optical lattices. 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.

Accessing the topological Mott insulator in cold atom quantum simulators with realistic Rydberg dressing [58.720142291102135]
We investigate a realistic scenario for the quantum simulation of such systems using cold Rydberg-dressed atoms in optical lattices. We perform a detailed analysis of the phase diagram at half- and incommensurate fillings, in the mean-field approximation. We furthermore study the stability of the phases with respect to temperature within the mean-field approximation.

Phase diagram of Rydberg-dressed atoms on two-leg square ladders: Coupling supersymmetric conformal field theories on the lattice [52.77024349608834]
We investigate the phase diagram of hard-core bosons in two-leg ladders in the presence of soft-shoulder potentials. We show how the competition between local and non-local terms gives rise to a phase diagram with liquid phases with dominant cluster, spin, and density-wave quasi-long-range ordering.

Topological transitions with continuously monitored free fermions [68.8204255655161]
We show the presence of a topological phase transition that is of a different universality class than that observed in stroboscopic projective circuits. We find that this entanglement transition is well identified by a combination of the bipartite entanglement entropy and the topological entanglement entropy.
