Classification of topological ladder models

Carlos G. Velasco, Belén Paredes

Ladder architectures are fruitful systems to realize topological phases of matter. Here we present a classification of ladder models giving rise to topological insulators. We ident…

Boson-Lattice Construction for Anyon Models

Belén Paredes

This work is an attempt to unveil the skeleton of anyon models. I present a construction to systematically generate anyon models. The construction uses a set of elementary pieces o…

Realizing and detecting a topological insulator in the AIII symmetry class

Carlos G. Velasco, Belén Paredes

Topological insulators in the AIII symmetry class lack experimental realization. Moreover, fractionalization in one-dimensional topological insulators has not been yet directly obs…

Observation of the Meissner effect with ultracold atoms in bosonic ladders

M. Atala, M. Aidelsburger, M. Lohse +3

We report on the observation of the Meissner effect in bosonic flux ladders of ultracold atoms. Using artificial gauge fields induced by laser-assisted tunneling, we realize arrays…

Non-Abelian Topological Order from Quantum Organization in Indistinguishable Groups

Belén Paredes

I propose that non-Abelian topological order can emerge from the organization of quantum particles into identical indistinguishable copies of the same quantum many-body state. Quan…

Realization of the Hofstadter Hamiltonian with ultracold atoms in optical lattices

M. Aidelsburger, M. Atala, M. Lohse +3

We demonstrate the experimental implementation of an optical lattice that allows for the generation of large homogeneous and tunable artificial magnetic fields with ultracold atoms…
