Topological Protection Can Arise from Thermal Fluctuations and Interactions
Topological quantum and classical materials can exhibit robust properties that are protected against disorder, for example, for noninteracting particles and linear waves. Here, we demonstrate how to construct topologically protected states that arise from the combination of strong interactions and thermal fluctuations inherent to soft materials or miniaturized mechanical structures. …
