Characterizations of topological superconductors: Chern numbers, edge states and Majorana zero modes
The topological properties in topological superconductors are usually characterized by bulk Chern numbers, edge-state spectra, and Majorana zero modes. Whether they are equivalent or inequivalent is not well understood. Here, we investigate this issue with a focus on a checkerboard-lattice model com...
