Driven quantum many-body systems and out-of-equilibrium topology

Understand

In this review we present some of the work done in India in the area of driven and out-of-equilibrium systems with topological phases.

• After presenting some well-known examples of topological systems in one and two dimensions, we discuss the effects of periodic driving in some of them.
• We discuss the unitary as well as the non-unitary dynamical preparation of topologically non-trivial states in one and two dimensional systems.
• We then discuss the effects of Majorana end modes on transport through a Kitaev chain and a junction of three Kitaev chains.
