Fracton phases of matter

M Pretko, X Chen, Y You - International Journal of Modern Physics …, 2020 - World Scientific
Fractons are a new type of quasiparticle which are immobile in isolation, but can often move
by forming bound states. Fractons are found in a variety of physical settings, such as spin …

Topological defect networks for fractons of all types

D Aasen, D Bulmash, A Prem, K Slagle… - Physical Review …, 2020 - APS
Fracton phases exhibit striking behavior which appears to render them beyond the standard
topological quantum field theory (TQFT) paradigm for classifying gapped quantum matter …

Crystal-to-fracton tensor gauge theory dualities

M Pretko, Z Zhai, L Radzihovsky - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We demonstrate several explicit duality map**s between elasticity of two-dimensional
crystals and fracton tensor gauge theories, expanding on recent works by two of the present …

Strong planar subsystem symmetry-protected topological phases and their dual fracton orders

T Devakul, W Shirley, J Wang - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
We classify subsystem symmetry-protected topological (SSPT) phases in 3+ 1 dimensions
(3+ 1 D) protected by planar subsystem symmetries: short-range entangled phases which …

Gauging permutation symmetries as a route to non-Abelian fractons

A Prem, D Williamson - SciPost Physics, 2019 - scipost.org
We discuss the procedure for gauging on-site $\mathbb {Z} _2 $ global symmetries of three-
dimensional lattice Hamiltonians that permute quasi-particles and provide general …

Sorting topological stabilizer models in three dimensions

A Dua, IH Kim, M Cheng, DJ Williamson - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
The S-matrix invariant is known to be complete for translation invariant topological stabilizer
models in two spatial dimensions, as such models are phase equivalent to some number of …

Subsystem symmetry enriched topological order in three dimensions

DT Stephen, J Garre-Rubio, A Dua… - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
We introduce a model of three-dimensional (3D) topological order enriched by planar
subsystem symmetries. The model is constructed starting from the 3D toric code, whose …

Detecting subsystem symmetry protected topological order through strange correlators

C Zhou, MY Li, Z Yan, P Ye, ZY Meng - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We employ strange correlators to detect 2D subsystem symmetry protected topological
(SSPT) phases which are nontrivial topological phases protected by subsystem symmetries …

Higher-order cellular automata generated symmetry-protected topological phases and detection through multi point strange correlators

JY Zhang, MY Li, P Ye - PRX Quantum, 2024 - APS
In computer and system sciences, higher-order cellular automata (HOCA) are a type of
cellular automata that evolve over multiple time steps and generate complex patterns, which …

Compactifying fracton stabilizer models

A Dua, DJ Williamson, J Haah, M Cheng - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We investigate two-dimensional compactifications of three-dimensional fractonic stabilizer
