BACKGROUND Years ago, Lev Landau taught us how to think about distinct phases of
matter through an order parameter that characterizes the symmetry-broken state relative to …

Gauge theories constitute the basis of the Standard Model and provide useful descriptions of
various phenomena in condensed matter. Realizing gauge theories on tunable tabletop …

Gauge theories form the foundation of modern physics, with applications ranging from
elementary particle physics and early-universe cosmology to condensed matter systems. We …

After decades of development, quantum information science and technology has now come
to its golden age. It is not only widely believed that quantum information processing offers …

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 …

We introduce a generalization of conventional lattice gauge theory to describe fracton
topological phases, which are characterized by immobile, pointlike topological excitations …

Frustration in magnetic materials arising from competing exchange interactions can prevent
the system from adopting long-range magnetic order and can instead lead to a diverse …

In the recent years, the thermal Hall transport has risen as an important diagnosis of the
physical properties of the elementary excitations in various quantum materials, especially …

Can high-energy physics be simulated by low-energy, non-relativistic, many-body systems
such as ultracold atoms? Such ultracold atomic systems lack the type of symmetries and …

Gauge fields coupled to dynamical matter are ubiquitous in many disciplines of physics,
ranging from particle to condensed matter physics, but their implementation in large-scale …
