We show that, for a one - dimensional open quantum system of ultracold atoms trapped in an array of harmonic potentials that is weakly coupled to a background Bose - Einstein Condensate (BEC), a unique steady state emerges at either of the two edges of the array due to the combined effects of excitation via lasers of these ultracold atoms and decay back to their initial energy levels via emission of excitations into the BEC, acting as an excitation reservoir. We then solve, both numerically and analytically, for the steady states of the master equation that describes the dynamics of this open quantum system, and show that these steady states occur at the edges of the array of harmonic potentials trapping these atoms. Using the open quantum system's master equation to evolve it numerically over time, we demonstrate that these steady states at the edge of the system will emerge regardless of the number of atoms trapped in each of the harmonic potentials in the array, establishing both their existence and uniqueness, and demonstrating that this driven trapped ultracold atom system coupled to a BEC is a topological material whose topological invariant is characterized by its master equation.
