Chern pump: a bridge between integer quantum Hall effect and quantum   spin Hall effect
  We propose a electron-pumping mechanism called Chern pump to explain the integer quantum Hall effect(IQHE) in the Chern insulator. By using the parallel transport gauge in the hybrid Wannier representation we establish the bulk and edge states correspondence in the Chern insulator. The same correspondence can also be established in two dimensional(2D) topological insulator(TI). So we can consider 2D TI as two time reversal(TR) related CIs put together. The quantum spin Hall effect(QSHE) can be viewed as two TR related Chern pumps pumping electrons to opposite directions. Compared with the Z2 spin pump, the two Chern pumps explanation of QSHE is inherently 2D and predict that the QSHE can be detected in isolated device, thus make the QSHE directly measurable.
