Topological invariants are unambiguous in the thermodynamic limit. But real-life devices are finite and often connected to other components, such as leads, tunnel barriers, etc. How do we compute the invariant of such a device?

We show how to probe valleys in graphene with a gate-defined device: no optical or magnetic control is needed, only voltages. We also propose experiments using this tool to probe quantum dots, and symmetry-broken phases in large samples.

reads like a compromise and a half-measure.
But what if I tell you there is a way to observe chiral transport even if quasiparticles meet at a single point?
That's what we show in our latest manuscript!
