Colloquium: Zoo of quantum-topological phases of matter

XG Wen - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
What are topological phases of matter? First, they are phases of matter at zero temperature.
Second, they have a nonzero energy gap for the excitations above the ground state. Third …

Topological insulators and superconductors: tenfold way and dimensional hierarchy

S Ryu, AP Schnyder, A Furusaki… - New Journal of …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
It has recently been shown that in every spatial dimension there exist precisely five distinct

Paired states of fermions in two dimensions with breaking of parity and time-reversal symmetries and the fractional quantum Hall effect

N Read, D Green - Physical Review B, 2000 - APS
We analyze pairing of fermions in two dimensions for fully gapped cases with broken parity
(P) and time reversal (T), especially cases in which the gap function is an orbital angular …

Classification of topological insulators and superconductors in three spatial dimensions

AP Schnyder, S Ryu, A Furusaki, AWW Ludwig - Physical Review B …, 2008 - APS
We systematically study topological phases of insulators and superconductors (or
superfluids) in three spatial dimensions. We find that there exist three-dimensional (3D) …

The density-matrix renormalization group

U Schollwöck - Reviews of modern physics, 2005 - APS
The density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) is a numerical algorithm for the efficient
truncation of the Hilbert space of low-dimensional strongly correlated quantum systems …
