Observation of Interaction-Induced Topological Doublon States

Abstract
While topological single-particle systems have been extensively studied [1], topologically protected entangled two-boson states [2] and many-boson states [3] have recently come into the focus of research. However, interacting particle pairs in these systems have yet to be studied experimentally. This work focuses on the topological center-of-mass motion of bound two-particle states - so-called doublons [4], arising in a 1D lattice for discrete potentials with repulsive interaction. The tight-binding dynamics of a repulsive interacting two-particle state on such a 1D chain can be mapped onto a single particle evolving in a 2D lattice (Fig. 1a), where the main diagonal sites experience an on-site potential
$U$
[5]. For the 2D case, we choose a square lattice driven by a conventional anomalous Floquet protocol with a full wave packet transfer in each hopping and uniformly distributed couplings
$c$
[6]. The driving scheme preserves the mapping and adds a long-range interaction between the two particles in the 1D lattice.
