The world of materials science has been revolutionized by the discovery of topological materials, which exhibit unique properties due to the twisted or knotted nature of their wavefunction. When a topological material interacts with its surrounding space, the wavefunction must unwind, leading to the emergence of edge states. These states are characterized by the different
