Topological kicked rotators — •Jan Dahlhaus1, Jonathan Edge1, Jakub Tworzydlo2, and Carlo Beenakker11Instituut-Lorentz, Universiteit Leiden, Niederlande — 2Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Warsaw, Poland

Topology is a nice mathematical concept that can have profound consequences on condensed matter systems. Maybe the most prominent examples are the quantum Hall effect, the quantum spin Hall effect and the 3D topological insulator. I will present a way to realize the ideas of band topology in a well-known and intensively-studied model - the quantum kicked rotator. This allows to study the Anderson localization properties of topological phase transitions numerically in a very efficient way, especially in higher dimensions. Furthermore it may open a way for experimental measurements of this transition behaviour with cold atomic gases in optical lattices.
