Localization-protected energy pump

ORAL

Abstract

Localization can protect topological orders in interacting one-dimensional systems, even in the presence of quasiperiodic driving. We present an explicit model achieving such a non-trivial topological phase with protected edge modes. The system pumps energy between the drives at a quantized rate, even at infinite temperature.
