Tunnelling of topological line defects in strongly coupled superfluids
Abstract. The geometric theory of vortex tunnelling in superfluid liquids is developed. Geometry rules the tunnelling process in the approximation of an incompressible superfluid, which yields the identity of phase and configuration space in the vortex collective co-ordinate. To exemplify the implications of this approach to tunnelling, we solve explicitly for the two-dimensional motion of a po...
متن کاملTopological Superfluids: Majorana Fermions
The subject of topological superfluids, though they were not originally called by that name, actually antedates that of topological insulators, and has played a major role in the attempt to implement topological quantum computation (see lectures 26 and 28). Crudely speaking, the analogy with TI’s goes as follows: in a crystalline solid with spin-orbit coupling, the single-particle energy eigens...
متن کاملCharacterization of Topological States on a Lattice with Chern Number
We study Chern numbers to characterize the ground state of strongly interacting systems on a lattice. This method allows us to perform a numerical characterization of bosonic fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states on a lattice where conventional overlap calculation with known continuum case such as Laughlin state, breaks down. We calculate the Chern number by manipulating the twist angles of boun...
متن کاملMeasuring Topological Number of a Chern-Insulator from Quench Dynamics
In this letter we address the issue that whether the topological number of a static Hamiltonian can be measured from a dynamical quench process. We focus on a two-band Chern insulator in twodimension, for instance, the Haldane model, whose quantum state is a pseudo-spin on the Bloch sphere. The dynamical process is described by a mapping from the [kx, ky, t] space to the Bloch sphere, character...
متن کاملLarge-Chern-number quantum anomalous Hall effect in thin-film topological crystalline insulators.
We theoretically predict that thin-film topological crystalline insulators can host various quantum anomalous Hall phases when doped by ferromagnetically ordered dopants. Any Chern number between ±4 can, in principle, be reached as a result of the interplay between (a) the induced Zeeman field, depending on the magnetic doping concentration, (b) the structural distortion, either intrinsic or in...
