We propose an implementation of a generalized Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model based on optomechanical arrays. The topological properties of the generalized SSH model depend on the effective optomechanical interactions enhanced by strong driving optical fields. Three phases including one trivial and two distinct topological phases are found in the generalized SSH model. The phase transition can be observed by turning the strengths and phases of the effective optomechanical interactions via adjusting the external driving fields. Moreover, four types of edge states can be created in generalized SSH model of an open chain under single-particle excitation, and the dynamical behaviors of the excitation in the open chain are related to the topological properties under the periodic boundary condition. We show that the edge states can be pumped adiabatically along the optomechanical arrays by periodically modulating the amplitude and frequency of the driving fields. The generalized SSH model based on the optomechanical arrays provides us a tunable platform to engineer topological phases for photons and phonons, which may have potential applications in controlling the transport of photons and phonons.

Due to the boundary coupling in a finite system, the zero modes of a standard Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model may deviate from exact-zero energy. A recent experiment has shown that by increasing the system size or altering gain or loss strength of t
he SSH model with parity-time ($mathcal{PT}$) symmetry, the real parts of the energies of the edge modes can be recovered to exact-zero value [Song emph{et al.} Phys. Rev. Lett. textbf{123}, 165701 (2019)]. To clarify the effects of $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric potentials on the recovery of the nontrivial zero modes, we study the SSH model with $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric potentials of different forms in both infinite and finite systems. Our results indicate that the energies of the edge modes in the infinite size case decide whether or not the success of the recovery of the zero modes by tuning the strength of $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric potential in a finite system. If the energies of the edge modes amount to zero in the thermodynamic limit under an open boundary condition (OBC), the recovery of the zero modes will break down by increasing the gain or loss strength for a finite system. Our results can be easily examined in different experimental platforms and inspire more insightful understanding on nontrivial edge modes in topologically non-Hermitian systems.
If a full band gap closes and then reopens when we continuously deform a periodic system while keeping its symmetry, a topological phase transition usually occurs. A common model demonstrating such a topological phase transition in condensed matter p
hysics is the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model. As well known, two distinct topological phases emerge when the intracell hopping is tuned from smaller to larger with respect to the intercell hopping in the model. The former case is topologically trivial, while the latter case is topologically non-trivial. Here, we design a 1D periodic acoustic system in exact analogy to the SSH model. The unit cell of the acoustic system is composed of two resonators and two junction tubes connecting them. We show that the topological phase transition happens in our acoustic analog when we tune the radii of the junction tubes which control the intercell and intracell hoppings. The topological phase transition is characterized by the abrupt change of the geometric Zak phase. The topological interface states between non-trivial and trivial phases of our acoustic analog are experimentally measured, and the results agree very well with the numerical values. Further, we show that topologically non-trivial phases of our acoustic analog of the SSH model can support edge states, on which the discussion is absent in previous works about topological acoustics. The edge states are robust against localized defects and perturbations.
We propose a realization of topological quantum interference in a pumped non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger lattice that can be implemented by creation and coherent control of excitonic states of trapped neutral atoms. Our approach is based on realiz
ing sudden delocalization of two localized topological edge states by switching the value of the laser phase controlling the lattice potential to quench the system from the topological to the gapless or trivial non-topological quantum phases of the system. We find interference patterns in the occupation probabilities of excitations on lattice sites, with a transition from a two-excitation interference seen in the absence of pumping to many-excitation interferences in the presence of pumping. Investigation of the excitation dynamics in both the topological and trivial non-topological phases shows that such interference patterns which originate in topology are drastically distinct from interference between non-topological states of the lattice. Our results also reveal that unlike well-known situations where topological states are protected against local perturbations, in these non-Hermitian SSH systems a local dissipation at each lattice site can suppress both the total population of the lattice in the topological phase and the interference of the topological states.
Charge-density waves are responsible for symmetry-breaking displacements of atoms and concomitant changes in the electronic structure. Linear response theories, in particular density-functional perturbation theory, provide a way to study the effect o
f displacements on both the total energy and the electronic structure based on a single ab initio calculation. In downfolding approaches, the electronic system is reduced to a smaller number of bands, allowing for the incorporation of additional correlation and environmental effects on these bands. However, the physical contents of this downfolded model and its potential limitations are not always obvious. Here, we study the potential-energy landscape and electronic structure of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model, where all relevant quantities can be evaluated analytically. We compare the exact results at arbitrary displacement with diagrammatic perturbation theory both in the full model and in a downfolded effective single-band model, which gives an instructive insight into the properties of downfolding. An exact reconstruction of the potential-energy landscape is possible in a downfolded model, which requires a dynamical electron-biphonon interaction. The dispersion of the bands upon atomic displacement is also found correctly, where the downfolded model by construction only captures spectral weight in the target space. In the SSH model, the electron-phonon coupling mechanism involves exclusively hybridization between the low- and high-energy bands and this limits the computational efficiency gain of downfolded models.
We study a single polaron in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model using four different techniques (three numerical and one analytical). Polarons show a smooth crossover from weak to strong coupling, as a function of the electron-phonon coupling stren
gth $lambda$, in all models where this coupling depends only on phonon momentum $q$. In the SSH model the coupling also depends on the electron momentum $k$; we find it has a sharp transition, at a critical coupling strength $lambda_c$, between states with zero and nonzero momentum of the ground state. All other properties of the polaron are also singular at $lambda = lambda_c$, except the average number of phonons in the polaronic cloud. This result is representative of all polarons with coupling depending on $k$ and $q$, and will have important experimental consequences (eg., in ARPES and conductivity experiments).
