Electron surface states in solids are typically confined to the outermost atomic layers and, due to surface disorder, have negligible impact on electronic transport. Here, we demonstrate a very different behavior for surface states in graphene. We probe the wavelike character of

We construct a two-dimensional higher-order topological phase protected by a quasicrystalline eightfold rotation symmetry. Our tight-binding model describes a superconductor on the Ammann-Beenker tiling hosting localized Majorana zero modes at the corners of an octagonal sample.

We study a link between the ground-state topology and the topology of the lattice via the presence of anomalous states at disclinations – topological lattice defects that violate a rotation symmetry only locally. We first show the existence of anomalous disclination states, such

Disorder can localize the eigenstates of one-dimensional non-Hermitian systems, leading to an Anderson transition with a critical exponent of 1. We show that, due to the lack of energy conservation, the dynamics of individual, real-space wave packets follows a different behavior.
