Topology#
Topological band theory: the SSH model’s bulk-boundary correspondence, the Haldane model’s Chern-number phase transition and Berry curvature, zigzag graphene and Kane-Mele helical edge states cut from ribbons, the Thouless quantum pump’s exactly quantized charge transport, and a topological (Chern) flat band on the kagome lattice.
