Hierarchy of topological order from finite-depth unitaries, measurement, and feedforward
Long-range entanglement—the backbone of topologically ordered states—cannot be
created in finite time using local unitary circuits, or, equivalently, adiabatic state preparation …

Long-range entanglement from measuring symmetry-protected topological phases
A fundamental distinction between many-body quantum states are those with short-and long-
range entanglement (SRE and LRE). The latter cannot be created by finite-depth circuits …

Codimension-2 defects and higher symmetries in (3+ 1) D topological phases
D topological phases of matter can host a broad class of non-trivial topological defects of
codimension-1, 2, and 3, of which the well-known point charges and flux loops are special …
