Systematic construction of square-root topological insulators and superconductors

We propose a general scheme to construct a Hamiltonian H_{root} describing a square root of an original Hamiltonian H_{original} based on the graph theory. The square-root Hamiltonian is defined on the subdivided graph of the original graph of H_{original}, where the subdivided graph is obtained by...
