We show that distinct topological states populating nontrivial gaps can nucleate avoided crossings characterized by edge-to-edge transitions. Such states are inherently coupled when a smooth variation of the modulation phase is induced along a synthetic dimension, resulting in topological edge-to-edge transport stemming from distinct polarizations of the crossing states. We first present a general framework to estimate the required modulation speed for a given transition probability in time. Then, this analysis tool is exploited to tailor topological pumping in a stiffness modulated beam.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-03-25T17:40:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "stiffness modulated quasiperiodic beams", "avoided crossings", "adiabatic pumping", "states populating nontrivial gaps", "topological states populating nontrivial" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
