• Abstract: Witnessing and tracking topological phase transitions induced by interactions with the environment is a crucial challenge. Among the various experimental approaches to detect topological properties, the Mean Chiral Displacement (MCD) has emerged as a powerful bulk probe in one-dimensional chiral systems, allowing the extraction of the topological invariant from single-particle dynamics. Here we study the dynamics of a single particle in a one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain coupled to multiple cavity modes via inter-cell hopping terms, focusing on the out-of-equilibrium behavior of the MCD. We show that, whenever the frequency is larger than the static hopping amplitudes, the coupling induces a discontinuous jump in the MCD, already at small times, signaling that such a coupling also leaves a signature in the survival edge probability when the dynamics are initialized at one of the two edges. For frequencies comparable to the static hopping amplitudes, topological order competes with dissipative effects, which makes the MCD behave smoothly, retaining information about the driven-dissipative topology.

  We propose a scheme based on quench dynamics to detect the mean-field topological phase diagram of an insulator. We find two characteristic times $t_s$ and $t_c$ which capture the emergence of dynamical self-consistent particle number density. The number of mean-field topological phase is determined by the spin polarizations of four Dirac points at the time $t_s$.

• Subradiant edge states in an atom chain with waveguide-mediated hopping [0.0]
  We analyze a system formed by two chains of identical emitters coupled to a waveguide, whose guided modes induce excitation hopping. We find that, in the single excitation limit, the bulk topological properties of the Hamiltonian that describes the coherent dynamics of the system are identical to the ones of a one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. We analytically identify parameter regimes where edge states arise which are fully localized to the boundaries of the chain, independently of the system size.

  We study the transient regimes of non-equilibrium processes probed by single-site observables that is magnetization per site. The decay rates of time-dependent and single-site observables exhibit a dynamical crossover that separates two dynamical regions. Our results reveal that scaling law exponent in short times at the close vicinity of the dynamical crossover is significantly different than the one predicted by analytical theory.
