Two-particle topological Thouless spin pump
arXiv:2211.03338 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.107.033302
Abstract
We show that two particles interacting via spin exchange exhibit topological features found in one-dimensional single particle lattice models. This is accomplished by absorbing all of the spatial degrees of freedom of the lattices into the spin degrees of freedom of the two particles. Comparing the spin system with the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, we show the existence of topologically protected edge spin states and establish the bulk-edge correspondence. Modifying the spin system with a chiral symmetry breaking term results in it resembling the Rice-Mele model and can therefore act as a Thouless spin pump of one of the particles when periodically and adiabatically driven. By using the spin states as a synthetic spatial dimension, we show two particles are enough to simulate well known topological properties in condensed matter physics.
