Abstract

Topological insulator and superconductor are novel states of quantum matter whose low energy properties are described by topological field theory (TFT).Recently, TFT has directly led to the theoretical prediction of topological materials.In this contribution, I shall briefly review these recent developments and show that beautiful math inspires great discoveries in material science.

Topological field theory and the discovery of topological materials

Shoucheng Zhang

Topological field theory (TFT) describes universal low-energy properties of topological states of quantum matter. It also predicts exact quantization effects that can be experimentally measured. Recently, TFT has directly led to the theoretical prediction of topological materials. In this paper, I shall briefly review these recent developments.

Topological properties in topological insulators and superconductors

Chunbo Zhao

We give a self-contained and enriched review about topology properties in the rapidly growing field of topological states of matter (TSM). This review is mainly focus on the beautiful interplay of topology mathematics and condensed matter physics that issuing TSM. Fiber bundle theory is a powerful concept to describe the non-trivial topology properties underlying the physical system. So we briefly present some motivation of fiber bundle theory and following that several effective topological methods have been introduced to judge whether a fiber bundle is trivial or not. Next, we give some topological invariants that characterizes the non-trivial TSM in the non-interacting systems in all dimensions, which is called topological band theory. Following that, we review and generalize the topological response using topological field theory called Chern-Simons effective theory. Finally, the classification of free-fermion systems have been studied by loop space and K-theory.

The family of topological phases in condensed matter†

Shun-Qing Shen

Abstract The discovery of topological insulators and superconductors is an important advance in condensed matter physics. Topological phases reflect global properties of the quantum states in materials, and the boundary states are the characteristic of the materials. Such phases constitute a new branch in condensed matter physics. Here a historic development is briefly introduced, and the known family of phases in condensed matter are summarized.

Topological Insulators and Superconductors

Tudor D. Stanescu

The classification of distinct phases of matter is a central theme in condensed matter physics. A phase of matter can be viewed as an equivalence class of physical states that share a certain set of properties. In the case of topological quantum matter, these properties are associated with topological invariants that take specific values for each equivalence class. Perturbing a gapped state that corresponds to a given topological phase (i.e., smoothly deforming the Hamiltonian of the system) does not affect the topological invariant, as long as the bulk energy gap remains finite. The value of this invariant changes only if the system undergoes a quantum phase transition, which is signaled by the collapse of the gap. Full topological protection can only emerge in interacting systems and requires the presence of long-range entanglement, which is at the origin of intrinsic topological order. However, topological properties protected by symmetries emerge even in noninteracting systems and, perhaps surprisingly, can be described within the framework of good old band theory of solids. Systems belonging to this category are generically called topological insulators, after the class of materials that is largely responsible for the recent surge in research on topological matter. In addition, topological band theory considerations can also be applied to superconductors (and superfluids), as described at the mean-field level using Bogoliubov–de Gennes theory. This chapter summarizes the key ideas behind the topological classification of noninteracting systems and discusses the basic properties of various classes of topological insulators and superconductors. For in-depth discussions and related developments the reader is referred to a number of books [ 54 , 175 , 469 ] and review papers [ 23 , 239 , 240 , 421 ] specifically dedicated to this subject.

Chapter 1

Tudor D. Stanescu

Topology is woven into the subtle fabric of quantum theory. Topological concepts and ideas developed starting in the 1980s by the high energy physics and quantum gravity communities, first viewed by many as nothing but aesthetically appealing abstract possibilities, are central components of modern condensed matter physics and play a key role in the field of quantum information and quantum computation. The discovery of integer and fractional quantum Hall effects and, more recently, of topological insulators and superconductors has brought topological quantum matter in the laboratory, with the perspective of realizing functional platforms for topological quantum computation. Rooted in a solid mathematical formalism and spanning its relevance from fundamental questions in quantum gravity and quantum information to practical aspects regarding new materials and platforms for quantum computation, quantum topology is positioned at a fertile confluence of mathematics, physics, and computer and information science. This book focuses on the aspects of quantum topology that are most relevant from the perspective of condensed matter physics and its relation to quantum computation. We start our journey by sketching the relation between topology and quantum physics and summarizing a few basic mathematical concepts that will be used throughout this work. Beyond dry formal definitions, our main goal is to grasp the delicate root that makes the topological quantum world utterly strange and beautiful and follow it into the realm of condensed matter many-body systems.

Topology in One-Dimensional Quantum Systems

Christian Spånslätt

States of matter which are described by concepts in topology are of great interest in the community of condensed matter physics. Both from a pure theoretical perspective, where many non-intuitive and mathematically rich results can be found from seemingly simple models, and also since recent experimental developments allows for explicit construction of devices where the underlying topology has observable consequences. This thesis provides a conceptual introduction to the framework describing such topological states of matter (TSM). It starts by explaining ordinary band theory which is followed by a discussion of quantum mechanical symmetries. These two concepts provides a method of classifying all non-interacting fermionic TSM. Following are explicit applications to a few models in one spatial dimension. In the accompanying paper, we study one-dimensional superconductors with Josephson-junctions allowing phase shifts of π. We make a detailed analysis of the junction bound states and their properties in some different settings and compare the behaviour of trivial and topological superconducting junctions. In addition, we provide a phenomenological topological field theory in the low energy limit.
