The notion of topological phases extended to dynamical systems stimulates extensive studies, of which the characterization of non-equilibrium topological invariants is a central issue and usually necessitates the information of quantum dynamics in both the time and spatial dimensions. Here we combine the recently developed concepts of the dynamical classification of topological phases and synthetic dimension, and propose to efficiently characterize photonic topological phases via holographic quench dynamics. A pseudo spin model is constructed with ring resonators in a synthetic lattice formed by frequencies of light, and the quench dynamics is induced by initializing a trivial state which evolves under a topological Hamiltonian. Our key prediction is that the complete topological information of the Hamiltonian is extracted from quench dynamics solely in the time domain, manifesting holographic features of the dynamics. In particular, two fundamental time scales emerge in the quench dynamics, with one mimicking the Bloch momenta of the topological band and the other characterizing the residue time evolution of the state after quench. For this a dynamical bulk-surface correspondence is obtained in time dimension and characterizes the topology of the spin model. This work also shows that the photonic synthetic frequency dimension provides an efficient and powerful way to explore the topological non-equilibrium dynamics.

We determine the conditions under which topological order survives a rapid quantum quench. Specifically, we consider the case where a quantum spin system is prepared in the ground state of the Toric Code Model and, after the quench, it evolves with a
Hamiltonian that does not support topological order. We provide analytical results supported by numerical evidence for a variety of quench Hamiltonians. The robustness of topological order under non-equilibrium situations is tested by studying the topological entropy and a novel dynamical measure, which makes use of the similarity between partial density matrices obtained from different topological sectors.
Flux ladders constitute the minimal setup enabling a systematic understanding of the rich physics of interacting particles subjected simultaneously to strong magnetic fields and a lattice potential. In this paper, the ground-state phase diagram of a
flux-ladder model is mapped out using extensive density-matrix renormalization-group simulations. The emphasis is put on parameters which can be experimentally realized exploiting the internal states of potassium atoms as a synthetic dimension. The focus is on accessible observables such as the chiral current and the leg-population imbalance. Considering a particle filling of one boson per rung, we report the existence of a Mott-insulating Meissner phase as well as biased-ladder phases on top of superfluids and Mott insulators. Furthermore, we demonstrate that quantum quenches from suitably chosen initial states can be used to probe the equilibrium properties in the transient dynamics. Concretely, we consider the instantaneous turning on of hopping matrix elements along the rungs or legs in the synthetic flux-ladder model, with different initial particle distributions. We show that clear signatures of the biased-ladder phase can be observed in the transient dynamics. Moreover, the behavior of the chiral current in the transient dynamics is discussed. The results presented in this paper provide guidelines for future implementations of flux ladders in experimental setups exploiting a synthetic dimension.
We study the quench dynamics of non-Hermitian topological models with non-Hermitian skin effects. Adopting the non-Bloch band theory and projecting quench dynamics onto the generalized Brillouin zone, we find that emergent topological structures, in
the form of dynamic skyrmions, exist in the generalized momentum-time domain, and are correlated with the non-Bloch topological invariants of the static Hamiltonians. The skyrmion structures anchor on the fixed points of dynamics whose existence are conditional on the coincidence of generalized Brillouin zones of the pre- and post-quench Hamiltonians. Global signatures of dynamic skyrmions, however, persist well beyond such a condition, thus offering a general dynamic detection scheme for non-Bloch topology in the presence of non-Hermitian skin effects. Applying our theory to an experimentally relevant, non-unitary quantum walk, we explicitly demonstrate how the non-Bloch topological invariants can be revealed through the non-Bloch quench dynamics.
Hopf insulators are exotic topological states of matter outside the standard ten-fold way classification based on discrete symmetries. Its topology is captured by an integer invariant that describes the linking structures of the Hamiltonian in the th
ree-dimensional momentum space. In this paper, we investigate the quantum dynamics of Hopf insulators across a sudden quench and show that the quench dynamics is characterized by a $mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant $ u$ which reveals a rich interplay between quantum quench and static band topology. We construct the $mathbb{Z}_2$ topological invariant using the loop unitary operator, and prove that $ u$ relates the pre- and post-quench Hopf invariants through $ u=(mathcal{L}-mathcal{L}_0)bmod 2$. The $mathbb{Z}_2$ nature of the dynamical invariant is in sharp contrast to the $mathbb{Z}$ invariant for the quench dynamics of Chern insulators in two dimensions. The non-trivial dynamical topology is further attributed to the emergence of $pi$-defects in the phase band of the loop unitary. These $pi$-defects are generally closed curves in the momentum-time space, for example, as nodal rings carrying Hopf charge.
We report on the observation of a topologically protected edge state at the interface between two topologically distinct domains of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, which we implement in arrays of evanescently coupled dielectric-loaded surface plasmon
polariton waveguides. Direct evidence of the topological character of the edge state is obtained through several independent experiments: Its spatial localization at the interface as well as the restriction to one sublattice is confirmed by real-space leakage radiation microscopy. The corresponding momentum-resolved spectrum obtained by Fourier imaging reveals the midgap position of the edge state as predicted by theory.
