The Happer model, as the variation of Rabi-Breit model, describes the interactions between the total nuclear spin and the total electron spin-1 of the triplet dimer molecules of ${}^{87}text{Rb}$. One interesting physical consequence of the Happer model is its puzzling degeneracy. In this paper, under the periodic driven magnetic field on total electron spin, the topological properties of the Happer model are present. Specifically, we calculate the Chern number of the system, both for the non-degenerate and degenerate cases. We show that the Chern number is closely related to the total angular momentum of the system, instead of the electron spin. Furthermore, the perturbing spin-axis interaction term is also introduced for detecting the influence on the corresponding topological Chern number. At last, in momentum space, we compare the Happer model with the topological semimetal in the sense of topological numbers. In such model, a magnetostatic shielding --like phenomena occurs.

Topological invariants, such as the Chern number, characterise topological phases of matter. Here we provide a method to detect Chern numbers in systems with two distinct species of fermion, such as spins, orbitals or several atomic states. We analyt ically show that the Chern number can be decomposed as a sum of component specific winding numbers, which are themselves physically observable. We apply this method to two systems, the quantum spin Hall insulator and a staggered topological superconductor, and show that (spin) Chern numbers are accurately reproduced. The measurements required for constructing the component winding numbers also enable one to probe the entanglement spectrum with respect to component partitions. Our method is particularly suited to experiments with cold atoms in optical lattices where time-of-flight images can give direct access to the relevant observables.
Topological entanglement entropy has been extensively used as an indicator of topologically ordered phases. We study the conditions needed for two-dimensional topologically trivial states to exhibit spurious contributions that contaminates topologica l entanglement entropy. We show that if the state at the boundary of a subregion is a stabilizer state, then it has a non-zero spurious contribution to the region if and only if, the state is in a non-trivial one-dimensional $G_1times G_2$ symmetry-protected-topological (SPT) phase. However, we provide a candidate of a boundary state that has a non-zero spurious contribution but does not belong to any such SPT phase.

Topological numbers can characterize the transition between different topological phases, which are not described by Landaus paradigm of symmetry breaking. Since the discovery of quantum Hall effect, more topological phases have been theoretically pr edicted and experimentally verified. However, it is still an experimental challenge to directly measure the topological number of various predicted topological phases. In this paper, we demonstrate quantum simulation of topological phase transition of a quantum wire (QW) using a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. Deploying quantum algorithm of finding eigenvalues, we can reliably extract both the dispersion relations and topological numbers.
Disorder and localization have dramatic influence on the topological properties of a quantum system. While strong disorder can close the band gap thus depriving topological materials of topological features, disorder may also induce topology from tri vial band structures, wherein topological invariants are shared by completely localized states in real space. Here we experimentally investigate a fundamentally distinct scenario where a topological phase is identified in a critically localized regime, with eigenstates neither fully extended nor completely localized. Adopting the technique of momentum-lattice engineering for ultracold atoms, we implement a one-dimensional, generalized Aubry-Andre model with off-diagonal quasi-periodic disorder in momentum space, and characterize its localization and topological properties through dynamic observables. We then demonstrate the impact of interactions on the critically localized topological state, as a first experimental endeavour toward the clarification of many-body critical phase, the critical analogue of the many-body localized state.
We present a matrix product state (MPS) algorithm to approximate ground states of translationally invariant systems with periodic boundary conditions. For a fixed value of the bond dimension D of the MPS, we discuss how to minimize the computational cost to obtain a seemingly optimal MPS approximation to the ground state. In a chain of N sites and correlation length xi, the computational cost formally scales as g(D,xi /N)D^3, where g(D,xi /N) is a nontrivial function. For xi << N, this scaling reduces to D^3, independent of the system size N, making our algorithm N times faster than previous proposals. We apply the method to obtain MPS approximations for the ground states of the critical quantum Ising and Heisenberg spin-1/2 models as well as for the noncritical Heisenberg spin-1 model. In the critical case, for any chain length N, we find a model-dependent bond dimension D(N) above which the polynomial decay of correlations is faithfully reproduced throughout the entire system.
