Topology, delocalization via average symmetry and the symplectic anderson transition

L Fu, CL Kane - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
A field theory of the Anderson transition in two-dimensional disordered systems with spin-
orbit interactions and time-reversal symmetry is developed, in which the proliferation of …

Quantum simulation of disordered systems with cold atoms

JC Garreau - Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2017 - comptes-rendus.academie-sciences …

using laser-cooled atoms exposed to “kicks” of a standing wave, realizing a paradigmatic …

Recipe for creating an arbitrary number of Floquet chiral edge states

L Zhou, J Gong - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
Floquet states of periodically driven systems could exhibit rich topological properties. Many
of them are absent in their static counterparts. One such example is the chiral edge states in …

Quantum criticality at the boundary of the non-Hermitian regime of a Floquet system

WL Zhao, J Liu - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
We investigate both analytically and numerically the dynamics of quantum scrambling,
characterized by out-of-time ordered correlators (OTOCs), in a non-Hermitian quantum …

Quantum criticality and dynamical instability in the kicked-top model

VM Bastidas, P Pérez-Fernández, M Vogl, T Brandes - Physical Review Letters, 2014 - APS
We investigate precursors of critical behavior in the quasienergy spectrum due to the
dynamical instability in the kicked top. Using a semiclassical approach, we analytically …

Effects of interactions on periodically driven dynamically localized systems

A Agarwala, D Sen - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
It is known that there are lattice models in which noninteracting particles get dynamically
localized when periodic δ-function kicks are applied with a particular strength. We use both …

Criticality of the metal–topological insulator transition driven by disorder

A Yamakage, K Nomura, KI Imura, Y Kuramoto - Physical Review B …, 2013 - APS
Employing scaling analysis of the localization length, we deduce the critical exponent of the
metal–topological insulator transitions induced by disorder. The obtained exponent ν∼ 2.7 …

Effects of local periodic driving on transport and generation of bound states

A Agarwala, D Sen - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We periodically kick a local region in a one-dimensional lattice and demonstrate, by
studying wave packet dynamics, that the strength and the time period of the kicking can be …

Thermal metal-insulator transition in a helical topological superconductor

IC Fulga, AR Akhmerov, J Tworzydło, B Béri… - Physical Review B …, 2012 - APS
Two-dimensional superconductors with time-reversal symmetry have a Z 2 topological
invariant, which distinguishes phases with and without helical Majorana edge states. We …

Quantum criticality at the Chern-to-normal insulator transition

Y Xue, E Prodan - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2013 - APS
Using the noncommutative Kubo formula for aperiodic solids and a recently developed
numerical implementation, we study the conductivity σ and resistivity ρ tensors as functions …
