Quantum entanglement in condensed matter systems

N Laflorencie - Physics Reports, 2016 - Elsevier
This review focuses on the field of quantum entanglement applied to condensed matter
physics systems with strong correlations, a domain which has rapidly grown over the last …

[HTML][HTML] Learning phase transitions by confusion

EPL Van Nieuwenburg, YH Liu, SD Huber - Nature Physics, 2017 - nature.com
Classifying phases of matter is key to our understanding of many problems in physics. For
quantum-mechanical systems in particular, the task can be daunting due to the …

Topological phases of fermions in one dimension

L Fidkowski, A Kitaev - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2011 - APS
In this paper we show how the classification of topological phases in insulators and
superconductors is changed by interactions, in the case of one-dimensional systems. We …

Fractional chern insulator

N Regnault, BA Bernevig - Physical Review X, 2011 - APS
Chern insulators are band insulators exhibiting a nonzero Hall conductance but preserving
the lattice translational symmetry. We conclusively show that a partially filled Chern insulator …

Inversion-symmetric topological insulators

TL Hughes, E Prodan, BA Bernevig - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter …, 2011 - APS
We analyze translationally invariant insulators with inversion symmetry that fall outside the
current established classification of topological insulators. These insulators exhibit no edge …

Wilson-loop characterization of inversion-symmetric topological insulators

A Alexandradinata, X Dai, BA Bernevig - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
The ground state of translationally invariant insulators comprises bands which can assume
topologically distinct structures. There are few known examples where this distinction is …

General Relationship between the Entanglement Spectrum and the Edge State Spectrum<? format?> of Topological Quantum States

XL Qi, H Katsura, AWW Ludwig - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
We consider (2+ 1)-dimensional topological quantum states which possess edge states
described by a chiral (1+ 1)-dimensional conformal field theory, such as, eg, a general …

Entanglement spectrum of topological insulators and superconductors

L Fidkowski - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
We study two a priori unrelated constructions: the spectrum of edge modes in a band
topological insulator or superconductor with a physical edge, and the ground state …

Bipartite fluctuations as a probe of many-body entanglement

HF Song, S Rachel, C Flindt, I Klich, N Laflorencie… - Physical Review B …, 2012 - APS
We investigate in detail the behavior of the bipartite fluctuations of particle number N ̂ and
spin S ̂ z in many-body quantum systems, focusing on systems where such U (1) charges …

Entanglement spectrum of a disordered topological chern insulator

E Prodan, TL Hughes, BA Bernevig - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
We investigate the behavior of a topological Chern insulator in the presence of disorder, with
a focus on its entanglement spectrum (EtS) constructed from the ground state. For systems …
