Description
The Aubry-Andre’-Harper (AAH) model is a famous one-dimensional model extensively studied in the context of topological phases of matter since it can be exactly mapped to the two-dimensional Hofstadter model [1] . After a short introduction to topological phases of matter, in this talk I will introduce different generalizations of the AAH model supporting topologically non-trivial phases. I will also show that these phases can be realized in semiconductor low-dimensional nanostructures with complex curved shapes .
