We study the possibility of transferring fermions from a trivial system as particle source to an empty system but at topological phase as a mold for casting a stable topological insulator dynamically. We show that this can be realized by a non-Hermitian unidirectional hopping, which connects a central system at topological phase and a trivial flat-band system with a periodic driving chemical potential, which scans over the valence band of the central system. The near exceptional-point dynamics allows a unidirectional dynamical process: the time evolution from an initial state with full-filled source system to a stable topological insulating state approximately. The result is demonstrated numerically by a source-assistant QWZ model and SSH chain in the presence of random perturbation. Our finding reveals a classical analogy of quench dynamics in quantum matter and provides a way for topological quantum state engineering.

We propose that ordinary semiconductors with large spin-orbit coupling (SOC), such as GaAs, can host stable, robust, and {it tunable} topological states in the presence of quantum confinement and superimposed potentials with hexagonal symmetry. We sh
ow that the electronic gaps which support chiral spin edge states can be as large as the electronic bandwidth in the heterostructure miniband. The existing lithographic technology can produce a topological insulator (TI) operating at temperature $10- 100K$. Improvement of lithographic techniques will open way to tunable room temperature TI.
The non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) in non-Hermitian lattice systems depicts the exponential localization of eigenstates at systems boundaries. It has led to a number of counter-intuitive phenomena and challenged our understanding of bulk-boundary c
orrespondence in topological systems. This work aims to investigate how the NHSE localization and topological localization of in-gap edge states compete with each other, with several representative static and periodically driven 1D models, whose topological properties are protected by different symmetries. The emerging insight is that at critical system parameters, even topologically protected edge states can be perfectly delocalized. In particular, it is discovered that this intriguing delocalization occurs if the real spectrum of the systems edge states falls on the same systems complex spectral loop obtained under the periodic boundary condition. We have also performed sample numerical simulation to show that such delocalized topological edge states can be safely reconstructed from time-evolving states. Possible applications of delocalized topological edge states are also briefly discussed.
We investigate the dynamics of chiral edge states in topological polariton systems under laser driving. Using a model system comprised of topolgically trivial excitons and photons with a chiral coupling proposed by Karzig et al. [Phys. Rev. X 5, 0310
01 (2015)], we investigate the real-time dynamics of a lattice version of this model driven by a laser pulse. By analyzing the time- and momentum-resolved spectral function, measured by time- and angle-resolved photoluminescence in analogy with time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy in electronic systems, we find that polaritonic states in a ribbon geometry are selectively excited via their resonance with the pump laser photon frequency. This selective excitation mechanism is independent of the necessity of strong laser pumping and polariton condensation. Our work highlights the potential of time-resolved spectroscopy as a complementary tool to real-space imaging for the investigation of topological edge state engineering in devices.
We present a microscopic theory of the chiral one-dimensional electron gas system localized on the sidewalls of magnetically-doped Bi$_2$Se$_3$-family topological insulator nanoribbons in the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) regime. Our theory is
based on a simple continuum model of sidewall states whose parameters are extracted from detailed ribbon and film geometry tight-binding model calculations. In contrast to the familiar case of the quantum Hall effect in semiconductor quantum wells, the number of microscopic chiral channels depends simply and systematically on the ribbon thickness and on the position of the Fermi level within the surface state gap. We use our theory to interpret recent transport experiments that exhibit non-zero longitudinal resistance in samples with accurately quantized Hall conductances.
Topological phases of matter have attracted much attention over the years. Motivated by analogy with photonic lattices, here we examine the edge states of a one-dimensional trimer lattice in the phases with and without inversion symmetry protection.
In contrast to the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, we show that the edge states in the inversion-symmetry broken phase of the trimer model turn out to be chiral, i.e., instead of appearing in pairs localized at opposite edges they can appear at a $textit{single}$ edge. Interestingly, these chiral edge states remain robust to large amounts of disorder. In addition, we use the Zak phase to characterize the emergence of degenerate edge states in the inversion-symmetric phase of the trimer model. Furthermore, we capture the essentials of the whole family of trimers through a mapping onto the commensurate off-diagonal Aubry-Andre-Harper model, which allow us to establish a direct connection between chiral edge modes in the two models, including the calculation of Chern numbers. We thus suggest that the chiral edge modes of the trimer lattice have a topological origin inherited from this effective mapping. Also, we find a nontrivial connection between the topological phase transition point in the trimer lattice and the one in its associated two-dimensional parent system, in agreement with results in the context of Thouless pumping in photonic lattices.
