Compass models: Theory and physical motivations

Z Nussinov, J Van Den Brink - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2015 - APS
Compass models are theories of matter in which the couplings between the internal spin (or
other relevant field) components are inherently spatially (typically, direction) dependent. A …

The bond-algebraic approach to dualities

E Cobanera, G Ortiz, Z Nussinov - Advances in physics, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
An algebraic theory of dualities is developed based on the notion of bond algebras. It deals
with classical and quantum dualities in a unified fashion explaining the precise connection …

Spontaneous strong symmetry breaking in open systems: Purification perspective

P Sala, S Gopalakrishnan, M Oshikawa, Y You - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We explore the effect of decoherence on many-body mixed states from a purification
perspective. Here, quantum channels map to unitary transformations acting on a purified …

Subsystem symmetry protected topological order

Y You, T Devakul, FJ Burnell, SL Sondhi - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
In this work, we introduce a new type of topological order that is protected by subsystem
symmetries that act on lower-dimensional subsets of lattice many-body system, eg, along …

Subsystem non-invertible symmetry operators and defects

W Cao, L Li, M Yamazaki, Y Zheng - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
We explore non-invertible symmetries in two-dimensional lattice models with subsystem
$\mathbb Z_2 $ symmetry. We introduce a subsystem $\mathbb Z_2 $-gauging procedure …

Efficiently preparing Schr\" odinger's cat, fractons and non-Abelian topological order in quantum devices

R Verresen, N Tantivasadakarn… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2021 - arxiv.org
Long-range entangled quantum states--like cat states and topological order--are key for
quantum metrology and information purposes, but they cannot be prepared by any scalable …

Topological Order and Criticality in Monitored Random Quantum Circuits

A Lavasani, Y Alavirad, M Barkeshli - Physical review letters, 2021 - APS
It has recently been discovered that random quantum circuits provide an avenue to realize
rich entanglement phase diagrams, which are hidden to standard expectation values of …

Perturbative Stability and Error-Correction Thresholds of Quantum Codes

Y Li, N O'Dea, V Khemani - PRX Quantum, 2025 - APS
Topologically ordered phases are stable to local perturbations, and topological quantum
error-correcting codes enjoy thresholds to local errors. We connect the two notions of …

A symmetry principle for topological quantum order

Z Nussinov, G Ortiz - Annals of Physics, 2009 - Elsevier
We present a unifying framework to study physical systems which exhibit topological
quantum order (TQO). The major guiding principle behind our approach is that of …
