TLDR
In this paper, the authors discuss the underpinnings of the topological band theory and its materials applications, and propose a framework for predicting new classes of topological materials.Abstract:
First-principles band theory, properly augmented by topological considerations, has provided a remarkably successful framework for predicting new classes of topological materials. This Colloquium discusses the underpinnings of the topological band theory and its materials applications.read more

Weyl and Dirac semimetals in three-dimensional solids
TL;DR: Weyl and Dirac semimetals as discussed by the authors are three-dimensional phases of matter with gapless electronic excitations that are protected by topology and symmetry, and they have generated much recent interest.

Edge States and Topological Invariants of Non-Hermitian Systems.
Shunyu Yao,Zhong Wang +1 more
TL;DR: This work obtains the phase diagram of the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, whose topological zero modes are determined by theNon-Bloch winding number instead of the Bloch-Hamiltonian-based topological number.

Biorthogonal Bulk-Boundary Correspondence in Non-Hermitian Systems.
TL;DR: This work provides a comprehensive framework for generalized bulk-boundary correspondence and a quantized biorthogonal polarization that is formulated directly in systems with open boundaries, including exactly solvable non-Hermitian extensions of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model and Chern insulators.

Topological insulators and superconductors
Xiao-Liang Qi,Shou-Cheng Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: Topological superconductors are new states of quantum matter which cannot be adiabatically connected to conventional insulators and semiconductors and are characterized by a full insulating gap in the bulk and gapless edge or surface states which are protected by time reversal symmetry.
