The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) holds significant fundamental and technological importance in low-dissipation spintronics. We employ a tight-binding model and first-principles calculations to illustrate that Floquet engineering offers a fertile playground to realize high-Chern-number QAHE in two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnets. Via tuning of light frequency, we put forward an abundant topological phase map, i.e., topological phase transitions from trivial phase to QAHE, and that between QAHE with tunable high Chern numbers of = ±3 and = ±4. Analysis of edge states further confirms the topologically nontrivial natures, where three or four chiral edge states are clearly visible within the global band gaps. Moreover, we identify intrinsic KMnBi quintuple layers as the experimentally feasible example of the proposed mechanism of Floquet-engineered QAHE with high and tunable Chern numbers, bridging the QAHE, Floquet engineering, and 2D antiferromagnets with a strong likelihood of inventive applications in low-dissipation antiferromagnetic spintronics.

Quantum simulations of many-body systems are among the most promising applications of quantum computers. In particular, models based on strongly correlated fermions are central to our understanding of quantum chemistry and materials problems, and can lead to exotic, topological phases of matter. However, owing to the non-local nature of fermions, such models are challenging to simulate with qubit devices.

This study was conducted to investigate the techniques and complications of enlarged uterine extraction during minimally invasive surgery for uterine malignancy. The electronic medical record was queried for patients with uterine malignancy and enlarged uterus (≥ 250 g) who underwent primary hysterectomy with laparoscopic or robotic approach. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and Kruskal-Wallis test for continuous variables.

Topological photonics explores photonic systems that exhibit robustness against defects and disorder, enabled by protection from underlying topological phases. These phases are typically realized in linear optical systems and characterized by their intrinsic photonic band structures. Here we experimentally study Floquet Chern insulators in periodically driven nonlinear photonic crystals, where the topological phase is controlled by the polarization and the frequency of the driving field.

Topological electronic crystals are electron crystals in which spontaneously broken translation symmetry coexists with or gives rise to a nontrivial topological response. Here, we introduce a novel platform and analytical theory for realizing interaction-induced Hall crystals, a class of topological electronic crystals, with various Chern numbers C. The platform consists of a two-dimensional semiconductor subjected to an out-of-plane magnetic field and one-dimensional modulation, which can be realized by moiré or dielectric engineering.

Hyperbolic lattices-non-Euclidean regular tilings with constant negative curvature-provide a unique framework to explore curvature-driven topological phenomena inaccessible in flat geometries. While recent advances have focused on static hyperbolic systems, the dynamical interplay between curved space and time-modulated topology remains uncharted. Here, we study the topological pumping in hyperbolic lattices, discovering anomalous phenomena with no Euclidean analogs.
