We elucidate that diffusive systems, which are widely found in nature, can be a new platform of the bulk-edge correspondence, a representative topological phenomenon. Using a discretized diffusion equation, we demonstrate the emergence of robust edge states protected by the winding number for one- and two-dimensional systems. These topological edge states can be experimentally accessible by measuring diffusive dynamics at edges. Furthermore, we discover a novel diffusion phenomenon by numericall ...[more]
