    Chiral edge states are the fingerprint of the bulk-edge correspondence in a Chern insulator. Co-propagating edge modes, known as antichiral edge states, have been predicted to occur in the so-called modified Haldane model describing a two-dimensional semi-metal with broken time reversal symmetry. These counterintuitive edge modes are argued to be immune to backscattering and extremely robust...
