Symmetry-protected topological phases of quantum matter
T Senthil - Annu. Rev. Condens. Matter Phys., 2015 - annualreviews.org
We describe recent progress in our understanding of the interplay between interactions,
symmetry, and topology in states of quantum matter. We focus on a minimal generalization …

Quantum criticality under decoherence or weak measurement
Decoherence inevitably happens when a quantum state is exposed to its environment,
which can affect quantum critical points (QCPs) in a nontrivial way. As was pointed out in the …

Is the composite fermion a Dirac particle?
DT Son - Physical Review X, 2015 - APS
We propose a particle-hole symmetric theory of the Fermi-liquid ground state of a half-filled
Landau level. This theory should be applicable for a Dirac fermion in the magnetic field at …
