Quantum spin liquids: a review
Quantum spin liquids may be considered'quantum disordered'ground states of spin systems,
in which zero-point fluctuations are so strong that they prevent conventional magnetic long …

Symmetry TFTs and anomalies of non-invertible symmetries
A bstract It is known that the't Hooft anomalies of invertible global symmetries can be
characterized by an invertible TQFT in one higher dimension. The analogous statement …

Cluster state as a noninvertible symmetry-protected topological phase
We show that the standard 1+ 1 DZ 2× Z 2 cluster model has a noninvertible global
symmetry, described by the fusion category Rep (D 8). Therefore, the cluster state is not only …

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 …

-Dimensional Edge States of Rotation Symmetry Protected Topological States
We study fourfold rotation-invariant gapped topological systems with time-reversal symmetry
in two and three dimensions (d= 2, 3). We show that in both cases nontrivial topology is …

Average symmetry-protected topological phases
Symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases are many-body quantum states that are
topologically nontrivial as long as the relevant symmetries are unbroken. In this work we …
