Lecture notes on generalized symmetries and applications

R Luo, QR Wang, YN Wang - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
In this lecture note, we give a basic introduction to the rapidly develo** concepts of
generalized symmetries, from the perspectives of both high energy physics and condensed …

Quantum spin liquids: a review

L Savary, L Balents - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
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

J Kaidi, E Nardoni, G Zafrir, Y Zheng - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
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

S Seifnashri, SH Shao - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
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

N Tantivasadakarn, A Vishwanath, R Verresen - PRX Quantum, 2023 - APS
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

N Tantivasadakarn, R Thorngren, A Vishwanath… - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
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

Z Song, Z Fang, C Fang - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
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

R Ma, C Wang - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
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 …

Anomalies of -dimensional categorical symmetries

C Zhang, C Córdova - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We present a general approach for detecting when a fusion category symmetry is
anomalous, based on the existence of a special kind of Lagrangian algebra of the …
