Dynamic winding number for exploring band topology

Topological invariants play a key role in the characterization of topological states. Because of the existence of exceptional points, it is a great challenge to detect topological invariants in non-Hermitian systems. We put forward a dynamic winding number, the winding of realistic observables in lo...
