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 …

Algebraic higher symmetry and categorical symmetry: A holographic and entanglement view of symmetry

L Kong, T Lan, XG Wen, ZH Zhang, H Zheng - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
A global symmetry (0-symmetry) in an n-dimensional space acts on the whole space. A
higher symmetry acts on closed submanifolds (ie, loops and membranes, etc.), and those …

Classifying symmetry-protected topological phases through the anomalous action of the symmetry on the edge

DV Else, C Nayak - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
It is well known that (1+ 1)-dimensional [(1+ 1)-D] bosonic symmetry-protected topological
(SPT) phases with symmetry group G can be identified by the projective representation of …

Hybrid microwave-cavity heat engine

C Bergenfeldt, P Samuelsson, B Sothmann, C Flindt… - Physical review …, 2014 - APS
We propose and analyze the use of hybrid microwave cavities as quantum heat engines. A
possible realization consists of two macroscopically separated quantum-dot conductors …

Photon emission from a cavity-coupled double quantum dot

YY Liu, KD Petersson, J Stehlik, JM Taylor, JR Petta - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We study a voltage biased InAs double quantum dot (DQD) that is coupled to a
superconducting transmission line resonator. Inelastic tunneling in the DQD is mediated by …
