The edges of two-dimensional topological insulators are fashinating systems. In order to fully exploit their potential, gaps need to be induced. While superconducting gaps can be implemented, magnetic and interaction-related ones seem to be experimentally challenging. We propose a wide range of possibilities enabled by the gaps that can open when constrictions between helical edges[1] are created. Jackiw-Rebbi charges[2], Majorana bound states[3], parafermions[4] and Floquet bound states[5] are addressed.
