周期驱动量子系统中的余弦边模

Cosine Edge Mode in a Periodically Driven Quantum System

Indubala I. Satija, Erhai Zhao

摘要:

物质的时间周期(Floquet)拓扑相表现出比静态拓扑绝缘体和超导体更复杂的体积-边缘关系。找到驱动系统特有的边缘模式通常需要数值计算。在这里,我们提出了一个最小的两个带模型Floquet拓扑绝缘体和半金属在两个维度中,所有的体积和边缘属性可以得到解析。它是基于半通量量子霍尔效应的扩展Harper模型。我们发现,周期性的驱动产生了一系列的相位特征在于一对整数。该模型有一个最显著的功能:边缘模式的频谱总是由一个单一的余弦函数$ω(k_y)\propto \cos k_y$给出,其中$k_y$是沿边缘的波数,好像它是自由分散的,完全与体解耦。余弦模式对驱动参数的变化是鲁棒的,并且甚至持续到具有狄拉克点的半金属相。发现余弦模式的本地化长度包含整数,并且在这个意义上量化。

英文摘要:

Time-periodic (Floquet) topological phases of matter exhibit bulk-edge relationships that are more complex than static topological insulators and superconductors. Finding the edge modes unique to driven systems usually requires numerics. Here we present a minimal two-band model of Floquet topological insulators and semimetals in two dimensions where all the bulk and edge properties can be obtained analytically. It is based on the extended Harper model of quantum Hall effect at flux one half. We show that periodical driving gives rise to a series of phases characterized by a pair of integers. The model has a most striking feature: the spectrum of the edge modes is always given by a single cosine function, $ω(k_y)\propto \cos k_y$ where $k_y$ is the wave number along the edge, as if it is freely dispersing and completely decoupled from the bulk. The cosine mode is robust against the change in driving parameters and persists even to semi-metallic phases with Dirac points. The localization length of the cosine mode is found to contain an integer and in this sense quantized.
