Higher-Order Topological Corner States Induced by Gain and Loss
Higher-order topological insulators and superconductors are topological phases that exhibit novel boundary states on corners or hinges. Recent experimental advances in controlling dissipation such as gain and loss in atomic and optical systems provide a powerful tool for exploring non-Hermitian topological phases. Here we show that higher-order topological corner states …
