Ultracold bosons in optical lattices for quantum measurement and simulation
… in high magnetic fields, and has connections to topological physics. To simulate the charged particles, we use laser-assisted tunneling to add a complex phase to tunneling in the optical lattice. For the first time, we have condensed bosons into the ground state of the Harper-Hofstadter …

Engineering Topological Quantum Matter with Patterned Light
Topological phases are intriguing phases of matter which cannot be described with traditional characterization methods, and numerous efforts has been put to achieve these exotic phases of matter in a variety of quantum platforms. In this thesis, we discuss how topological quantum states of matter …

Quantum oscillations in Dirac semimetals
… signatures many of which can be explained by the topologically non-trivial band structure in these materials. Among the many candidates, the tellurides NbTe₄, TaPtTe₅ and TaNiTe₅ appear to provide a promising platform for the study of such topological properties. To probe their band structure and …

Patterns of electro-magnetic response in topological semi-metals
Topological semimetals are gapless states of matter which have robust and unique electromagnetic responses and surface states. In this thesis, we consider semimetals which have point like Fermi surfaces in various spatial dimensions $D=1,2,3$ which naturally occur in the transition between $n$th …

Non-Hermitian Structures in Soft Matter
… major advances in theoretical condensed matter physics in the past twenty years was to characterize topological insulators using the symmetry classes of Hermitian operators. These advancements were applied to various soft matter systems such as mechanical networks where they revealed the …

Mathematical models of soft elasticity: elastomers, active solids and topological metamaterials
… to capture universal features in the macroscopic physics of solids. Using this approach, we study three types of soft material, ranging from conventional to exotic. We begin in Part I with elastomers, which are used in many technological applications that rely on hyperelastic constitutive models …
