摘要:

高阶拓扑相产生了新的体物理和边界物理,以及新的拓扑相变类型。虽然高阶拓扑相的实现已经在许多平台中通过检测无间隙边界模式的存在而得到证实,但是在实验中仍然缺乏通过本体直接确定高阶拓扑和相关拓扑相变。为了弥补这一差距,在这项工作中,我们进行了模拟的二维二阶拓扑相的超导量子比特。由于量子模拟器具有很大的灵活性和可控性,我们首次通过测量体块动量空间中的赝自旋织构直接观察到高阶拓扑的实现,与以前基于真实空间中无间隙边界模式检测的实验形成鲜明对比。通过测量赝自旋织构随参数的演化,我们进一步观察到了从二阶拓扑相到平凡相,以及从平凡相到一阶拓扑相的新的拓扑相变.我们的工作为高阶拓扑相和拓扑相变的研究提供了新的思路。

英文摘要:

Higher-order topological phases give rise to new bulk and boundary physics, as well as new classes of topological phase transitions. While the realization of higher-order topological phases has been confirmed in many platforms by detecting the existence of gapless boundary modes, a direct determination of the higher-order topology and related topological phase transitions through the bulk in experiments has still been lacking. To bridge the gap, in this work we carry out the simulation of a two-dimensional second-order topological phase in a superconducting qubit. Owing to the great flexibility and controllability of the quantum simulator, we observe the realization of higher-order topology directly through the measurement of the pseudo-spin texture in momentum space of the bulk for the first time, in sharp contrast to previous experiments based on the detection of gapless boundary modes in real space. Also through the measurement of the evolution of pseudo-spin texture with parameters, we further observe novel topological phase transitions from the second-order topological phase to the trivial phase, as well as to the first-order topological phase with nonzero Chern number. Our work sheds new light on the study of higher-order topological phases and topological phase transitions.
