Experimental realization of a symmetry protected topological phase of interacting bosons with Rydberg atoms
Sylvain de Léséleuc, Vincent Lienhard, Pascal Scholl +6
The concept of topological phases is a powerful framework to characterize ground states of quantum many-body systems that goes beyond the paradigm of symmetry breaking. While a few…

Topologically protected edge states in small Rydberg systems
Sebastian Weber, Sylvain de Léséleuc, Vincent Lienhard +4
We propose a simple setup of Rydberg atoms in a honeycomb lattice which gives rise to topologically protected edge states. The proposal is based on the combination of dipolar excha…
