Light-induced phase crossovers in a quantum spin Hall system

Fang Qin,
Ching Hua Lee,

Abstract: In this work, we theoretically investigate the light-induced topological phases and finite-size crossovers in a paradigmatic quantum spin Hall (QSH) system with high-frequency pumping optics. Taking the HgTe quantum well for example, our numerical results show that circularly polarized light can break time-reversal symmetry and induce the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) phase. In particular, the coupling between the edge states is spin dependent, and it is related not only to the size of the system but also to th… Show more
