Braiding of Dirac/Weyl points:

a new type non-Abelian “braiding” of nodal-line rings inside the momentum space

  • Adrien Bouhon, QuanSheng Wu, Robert-Jan Slager, Hongming Weng, Oleg V. Yazyev, Tomáš Bzdušek, Non-Abelian reciprocal braiding of Weyl points and its manifestation in ZrTe, Nature Physics 16 (2020) 1137–1143 (arXiv:1907.10611, doi:10.1038/s41567-020-0967-9)

Here we report that Weyl points in three-dimensional (3D) systems with 𝒞 2𝒯\mathcal{C}_2\mathcal{T} symmetry (time reversal composed with a π\pi-rotation) carry non-Abelian topological charges. These charges are transformed via non-trivial phase factors that arise upon braiding the nodes inside the reciprocal momentum space.

new opportunities for exploring non-Abelian braiding of band crossing points (nodes) in reciprocal space [47–52], providing an alternative to the real space braiding exploited by other strategies. Real space braiding is practically constrained to boundary states, which has made experimental observation and manipulation difficult; instead, reciprocal space braiding occurs in the bulk states of the band structures and we demonstrate in this work that this provides a straightforward platform for non-Abelian braiding.
