of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model [@Su79] and its extension the Rice-Mele (RM) model [@Rice82]. The RM model is a lattice model with an alternating on-site potential, and hoppings with alternating strengths, depending on whether a given bond is odd or even. An interesting characteristic [@Vanderbilt93; @Xiao10] of the RM model is its topological behavior which manifests when an adiabatic cycle in the parameter space of the Hamiltonian encircles the point ($\Delta=0$, $J=J'=1$). Due to the fact that the polarization as a function of the parameters of the Hamiltonian is not single valued, the polarization in such a process changes by a “polarization quantum.” A recent related study [@Nakajima15] realized quantized adiabatic charge pumping [@Thouless83], also in the RM model.

In this paper we calculate the leading GICs associated with the Zak phase for the RM model. Based on the GICs (or associated moments, GIMs) we approximately reconstruct the distribution associated with the polarization. The RM model is a lattice model, which implies that the underlying Wannier functions are non-overlapping among different unit cells, and that the GICs correspond to the distribution associated with the Wannier function. Hence, our reconstructed probabilities correspond to the squared modulus of the Wannier function. We
