报告摘要: Common wisdom has it that edge states appear only in topological systems, e.g., topological insulators and topological superconductors. In this talk I will discuss edge states in topological and non-topological InAsBi quantum dots described by a confined Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model. Interestingly we find that these quantum dots exhibit protected helical edges states both in the topological and non-topological regimes [1]. I will also briefly discuss edge states in Chern insulators and nodal semimetals which display trivial edge states not arising from band topology (Chern number) [2]. In this case the approximate chiral symmetry of the Chern insulator (exact only in the nodal semimetal) is the relevant ingredient behind the appearance of these trivial edge states.
