Anomalous Topological Scattering Networks

This lecture explores the theory and experiment of exceptional transport robustness in anomalous topological scattering networks, comparing hermitian and unitary mappings, discussing anomalous Floquet topological insulators, unitary scattering networks, and practical implementation. It delves into the topology of unitaries, different possibilities of unitaries, and the implementation of unitary scattering networks. The lecture also covers the unitary circulator model, topological phase transitions, non-reciprocal edge modes, and the comparison between Chern and anomalous phases. It concludes by highlighting the robustness of anomalous transport over Chern transport in the presence of phase and scattering disorder.
