We study the spin excitation spectra and the dynamical exchange coupling between iron adatoms on a Bi bilayer nanoribbon. We show that the topological character of the edge states is preserved in the presence of the magnetic adatoms. Nevertheless, they couple significantly to the edge spin currents, as witnessed by the large and long-ranged dynamical coupling we obtain in our calcula- tions. The large effective magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the magnetic adatoms combined with the transport properties of the topologically protected edge states make this system a strong candidate for implementation of spintronics devices and quantum information and/or computation protocols.

Very few topological systems with long-range couplings have been considered so far due to our lack of analytic approaches. Here we extend the Kitaev chain, a 1D quantum liquid, to infinite-range couplings and study its topological properties. We demo nstrate that, even though topological phases are intimately linked to the notion of locality, the infinite-range couplings give rise to topological zero and non-zero energy Majorana end modes depending on the boundary conditions of the system. We show that the analytically derived properties are to a large degree stable against modifications to decaying long-range couplings. Our work opens new frontiers for topological states of matter that are relevant to current experiments where suitable interactions can be designed.
Topological materials have potential applications for quantum technologies. Non-interacting topological materials, such as e.g., topological insulators and superconductors, are classified by means of fundamental symmetry classes. It is instead only p artially understood how interactions affect topological properties. Here, we discuss a model where topology emerges from the quantum interference between single-particle dynamics and global interactions. The system is composed by soft-core bosons that interact via global correlated hopping in a one-dimensional lattice. The onset of quantum interference leads to spontaneous breaking of the lattice translational symmetry, the corresponding phase resembles nontrivial states of the celebrated Su-Schriefer-Heeger model. Like the fermionic Peierls instability, the emerging quantum phase is a topological insulator and is found at half fillings. Originating from quantum interference, this topological phase is found in exact density-matrix renormalization group calculations and is entirely absent in the mean-field approach. We argue that these dynamics can be realized in existing experimental platforms, such as cavity quantum electrodynamics setups, where the topological features can be revealed in the light emitted by the resonator.
We study theoretically quantum states of a pair of photons interacting with a finite periodic array of two-level atoms in a waveguide. Our calculation reveals two-polariton eigenstates that have a highly irregular wave-function in real space. This in dicates the Bethe ansatz breakdown and the onset of quantum chaos, in stark contrast to the conventional integrable problem of two interacting bosons in a box. We identify the long-range waveguide-mediated coupling between the atoms as the key ingredient of chaos and nonintegrability. Our results provide new insights in the interplay between order, chaos and localization in many-body quantum systems and can be tested in state-of-the-art setups of waveguide quantum electrodynamics.
MnBi2Te4(MBT) is a promising van der Waals layered antiferromagnetic (AF) topological insulator that combines a topologically non-trivial inverted Bi-Te band gap with ferromagnetic (FM) layers of Mn ions. We perform inelastic neutron scattering (INS) on co-aligned single crystals to study the magnetic interactions in MBT. Consistent with previous work, we find that the AF interlayer exchange coupling and uniaxial magnetic anisotropy have comparable strength, which supports metamagnetic transitions that allow access to different magnetic symmetries in applied fields. Modelling of the two-dimensional intralayer FM spin waves requires the introduction of long-range and competing Heisenberg FM and AF interactions, up to at least the seventh nearest-neighbor, and possess anomalous damping, especially near the Brillouin zone boundary. First-principles calculations of insulating MBT find that both interlayer and intralayer magnetic interactions are long-ranged. We discuss the potential roles that bulk $n$-type charger carriers and chemical disorder play in the magnetism of MBT.

The effective interaction between two probe particles in a one-dimensional driven system is studied. The analysis is carried out using an asymmetric simple exclusion process with nearest-neighbor interactions. It is found that the driven fluid mediat es an effective long-range attraction between the two probes, with a force that decays at large distances x as -b/x, where b is a function of the interaction parameters. Depending on the amplitude b the two probes may form one of three states: (a) an unbound state, where the distance grows diffusively with time; (b) a weakly bound state, in which the distance grows sub-diffusively; and (c) a strongly bound state, where the average distance stays finite in the long time limit. Similar results are found for the behavior of any finite number of probes.
