Topological Insulators are a novel state of matter where spectral bands are characterized by quantized topological invariants. This unique quantized non-local property commonly manifests through exotic bulk phenomena and corresponding robust boundary effects. In our work, we report a new type of topological insulator exhibiting spectral bands with non-quantized topological properties, but with a quantization that arises in a corresponding system where the square of the Hamiltonian is taken. We provide a thorough theoretical analysis as well as an experimental demonstration based on photonic Aharonov-Bohm cages to highlight the bulk and boundary properties of this neophyte state of matter.

  1. Spin-selective Aharonov-Casher caging in a topological quantum network

    cond-mat.dis-nn 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At a critical spin-orbit coupling, half-integer spins in a rhombic network are completely Aharonov-Casher caged into a few discrete energies, while integer spins remain delocalized.

  2. Topology and interactions in the photonic Creutz and Creutz-Hubbard ladders

    quant-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The authors propose and simulate photonic realizations of the Creutz and Creutz-Hubbard ladders, predicting Aharonov-Bohm caging, doublon caging at half flux, edge states, and a synthetic-dimension implementation scheme.
