Similar to the bulkboundary correspondence in real space at equilibrium, we observe a dynamical bulk-surface correspondence in the momentum space from a dynamical quench process. An emergent dynamical topological invariant is precisely measured in experiment by imaging the dynamical spin-textures on the recently defined band-inversion surfaces, with high topological numbers being implemented. Importantly, the dynamical classification approach is shown to be independent of quench ways and robust to the decoherence effects, offering a novel and practical strategy for dynamical topology characterization, especially for high dimensional gapped topological phases.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-04-19T03:56:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dynamical bulk-surface correspondence", "experimental observation", "dynamical classification approach", "solid-state spin system", "high dimensional gapped topological phases" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
