We study the nature of the disorder-induced quantized conductance, i.e., the phenomena of topological Anderson insulator (TAI) induced in HgTe/CdTe semiconductor quantum well. The disorder effect in several different systems where anomalous Hall effect exist, is numerically studied using the tight-binding Hamiltonian. It is found that the TAI phenomena also occur in the modified Dirac model where the quadratic corrections $k^2sigma_z$ is included and electron-hole symmetry is kept. It also occurs in the graphene system with the next nearest-neighbor coupling and staggered sublattice potential. Comparison between the localization lengths of the 2D ribbon and 2D cylinder clearly reveals the topological nature of this phenomena. Furthermore, analysis on the local current density in anomalous quantum Hall systems where the TAI phenomena can or can not arise reveals the nature of TAI phenomena: the bulk state is killed drastically and only the robust edge state survives in a moderate disorder. When the edge state is robust enough to resist the strong disorder that can completely kills the bulk state, TAI phenomena arise.

Disorder, ubiquitously present in solids, is normally detrimental to the stability of ordered states of matter. In this letter we demonstrate that not only is the physics of a strong topological insulator robust to disorder but, remarkably, under cer
tain conditions disorder can become fundamentally responsible for its existence. We show that disorder, when sufficiently strong, can transform an ordinary metal with strong spin-orbit coupling into a strong topological `Anderson insulator, a new topological phase of quantum matter in three dimensions.
Disorder and non-Hermiticity dramatically impact the topological and localization properties of a quantum system, giving rise to intriguing quantum states of matter. The rich interplay of disorder, non-Hermiticity, and topology is epitomized by the r
ecently proposed non-Hermitian topological Anderson insulator that hosts a plethora of exotic phenomena. Here we experimentally simulate the non-Hermitian topological Anderson insulator using disordered photonic quantum walks, and characterize its localization and topological properties. In particular, we focus on the competition between Anderson localization induced by random disorder, and the non-Hermitian skin effect under which all eigenstates are squeezed toward the boundary. The two distinct localization mechanisms prompt a non-monotonous change in profile of the Lyapunov exponent, which we experimentally reveal through dynamic observables. We then probe the disorder-induced topological phase transitions, and demonstrate their biorthogonal criticality. Our experiment further advances the frontier of synthetic topology in open systems.
Although topological Anderson insulator has been predicted in 2009, the lasting investigations of this disorder established nontrivial state results in only two experimental observations in cold atoms [Science, {bf 362 },929 (2018)] and in photonic c
rystals [Nature, {bf 560}, 461 (2018)] recently. In this paper, we study the topological Anderson transition in electric circuits. By arranging capacitor and inductor network, we construct a disordered Haldane model. Specially, the disorder is introduced by the grounding inductors with random inductance. Based on non-commutative geometry method and transport calculation, we confirm that the disorder in circuits can drive a transition from normal insulator to topological Anderson insulator. We also find the random inductance induced disorder possessing unique characters rather than Anderson disorder, therefore it leads to distinguishable features of topological Anderson transition in circuits. Different from other systems, the topological Anderson insulator in circuits can be detected by measuring the corresponding quantized transmission coefficient and edge state wavefunction due to mature microelectronic technology.
We study disorder effects in a two-dimensional system with chiral symmetry and find that disorder can induce a quadrupole topological insulating phase (a higher-order topological phase with quadrupole moments) from a topologically trivial phase. Thei
r topological properties manifest in a topological invariant defined based on effective boundary Hamiltonians, the quadrupole moment, and zero-energy corner modes. We find gapped and gapless topological phases and a Griffiths regime. In the gapless topological phase, all the states are localized, while in the Griffiths regime, the states at zero energy become multifractal. We further apply the self-consistent Born approximation to show that the induced topological phase arises from disorder renormalized masses. We finally introduce a practical experimental scheme with topoelectrical circuits where the predicted topological phenomena can be observed by impedance measurements. Our work opens the door to studying higher-order topological Anderson insulators and their localization properties.
In the model of gapped graphene, we have shown how the recently predicted topological resonances are solely related to the presence of an energy band gap at the $K$ and $K^prime$ points of the Brillouin zone. In the field of a strong single-oscillati
on chiral (circularly-polarized) optical pulse, the topological resonance causes the valley-selective population of the conduction band. This population distribution represents a chiral texture in the reciprocal space that is structured with respect to the pulse separatrix as has earlier been predicted for transition metal dichalcogenides. As the band gap is switched off, this chirality gradually disappears replaced by an achiral distribution characteristic of graphene.
