Abstract

Many magnetic materials are predicted to exhibit bosonic topological edge modes in their excitation spectra, because of the nontrivial topology of their magnon, triplon, or other quasiparticle band structures. However, there is a discrepancy between theory prediction and experimental observation, which suggests some underlying mechanism that intrinsically suppresses the expected experimental signatures, like the thermal Hall current. Many-body interactions that are not accounted for in the noninteracting quasiparticle picture are most often identified as the reason for the absence of the topological edge modes. Here we report persistent bosonic edge modes at the boundaries of a ladder quantum paramagnet with gapped triplon excitations in the presence of the full many-body interaction. We use tensor network methods to resolve topological edge modes in the time-dependent spin-spin correlations and the dynamical structure factor, which is directly accessible experimentally. We further show that signatures of these edge modes survive even when the noninteracting quasiparticle theory breaks down; we discuss the topological phase diagram of the model, demonstrate the fractionalization of its low-lying excitations, and propose potential material candidates.

  51. Note that the topological phases studied here fall under the umbrella of band topological phases, which classifies families of (Bloch) states generated by a parameterized set of matrices. While technically symmetry-protected (i.e., non-intrinsic), they are to be distinguished from classifications that characterize the topology of individual many-body (ground) states, e.g. of spin chains. The topology of these phases is determined by their projective boundary action and they typically do not have a Bloch bundle analogue.

  84. Odd refers to a sign change under exchange of the two atoms in the unit cell, In a scattering experiment on a stack of ladders, the odd part of the dynamical structure factor can be probed at q⊥=π, where q⊥ is the momentum transfer along the stacking direction. For the model considered here, the odd part exactly corresponds to the triplon modes tx and tz [see Eqs. (a1), (a3)]. All relevant topology is contained also in the standard dynamical structure factor, which contains the sum of all spin moments in the unit cell.
