  • Depending on the balance between t 1 and t 2 , the system exhibits a trivial or topological phase. (degruyter.com)
  • In this case, t 1 becomes smaller than t 2 , and the system can be regarded as the SSH model in the topological phase, as shown in Figure 1(b) , resulting in a topological edge state at the left edge of the chain. (degruyter.com)
  • However, its limitations such as frequent laser alignment, imaging artifacts due to optical interferences [10] and limited bandwidth requiring custom-built read-out electronics [11,12] have led to the development of numerous integrated sensing approaches. (beilstein-journals.org)
