报告摘要：
In this presentation, I will firstly introduce the background of topological quantum optics and its applications. Secondly, I mainly introduce detecting topological phase transitions via an experimentally observable out-of-time-order correlation (OTOC). Specifically, the distinguishable OTOC dynamics appears in the topological trivial and nontrivial phases due to the topological locality, which is still valid even in the presence of disorder. Lastly, I will introduce our recent work regarding point-gap topology in quadratic bosonic system (QBS). We theoretically predict the squeezing-induced point-gap topology in a QBS. A $Z_{2}$ skin effect, extremely sensitive to local perturbations, is found in the Hermitian system for the first time, which surpasses the Bloch’s theorem. We also find a squeezing-induced unconventional topological phase where both the point-gap and line-gap topologies are nontrivial, and it is experimentally detectable. Our works is of fundamental interest in interest in enriching the topological physics by introducing the OTOC and quantum squeezing, and has potential applications for the engineering of new-type quantum detecting technology and symmetry-protected sensors based on skin effect.
