The Berry curvature and quantum metric are the imaginary part and real part, respectively, of the quantum geometric tensor which characterizes the topology of quantum states. The f…
The quantum geometric origin of capacitance in insulators
Ilia Komissarov, Tobias Holder, Raquel Queiroz
In band insulators, where the Fermi surface is absent, adiabatic transport is allowed only due to the geometry of the Hilbert space. By driving the system at a small but finite fre…
