• Abstract: An incident wave at a temporal interface, created by an abrupt change in system parameters, generates time-refracted and time-reflected waves. We find topological characteristics associated with the temporal interface that separates distinct spatial topologies and report a novel bulk-boundary correspondence for the temporal interface. The vanishing of either time refraction or time reflection records a topological phase transition across the temporal interface, and the difference of bulk band topology predicts nontrivial braiding hidden in the time refraction and time reflection coefficients. These findings, which are insensitive to spatial boundary conditions and robust against disorder, are demonstrated in a synthetic frequency lattice with rich topological phases engendered by long-range couplings. Our work reveals the topological aspect of temporal interface and paves the way for using the time boundary effect to probe topological phase transitions and topological invariants.
