Abstract
The Kubo formula expresses a linear response of the quantum system to weak classical fields. Previous studies showed that the environment degrades the quantum Hall conductance. By studying the dynamics of dissipative two-band systems, in this paper we find that the formation of system-environment bound states is responsible for the Hall conductance immune to the effect of the environment. The bound states can form only when the system-environment couplings are below a threshold. Our results may be of both theoretical and experimental interest in exploring dissipative topological insulators in realistic situations, and may open new perspectives for designing active quantum Hall devices working in realistic environments.
