Holographic Dynamics from Multiscale Entanglement Renormalization Ansatz
Victor Chua, Vasilios Passias, Apoorv Tiwari +1
The Multiscale Entanglement Renormalization Ansatz (MERA) is a tensor network based variational ansatz that is capable of capturing many of the key physical properties of strongly…
Quantized Electric Multipole Insulators
Wladimir A. Benalcazar, B. Andrei Bernevig, Taylor L. Hughes
In this article we extend the celebrated Berry-phase formulation of electric polarization in crystals to higher electric multipole moments. We determine the necessary conditions un…
Two-cylinder entanglement entropy under a twist
Xiao Chen, William Witczak-Krempa, Thomas Faulkner +1
We study the von Neumann and Rényi entanglement entropy (EE) of scale-invariant theories defined on tori in 2+1 and 3+1 spacetime dimensions. We focus on spatial bi-partitions of t…
Violation of f-sum Rule with Generalized Kinetic Energy
Kridsanaphong Limtragool, Philip W. Phillips
Motivated by the normal state of the cuprates in which the f-sum rule increases faster than a linear function of the particle density, we derive a conductivity sum rule for a syste…
Three-dimensional anomalous twisted gauge theories with global symmetry: Implications for quantum spin liquids
Peng Ye
Topological spin liquids can be described by topological gauge theories with global symmetry. Due to the presence of both nontrivial bulk deconfined gauge fluxes and global symmetr…
Out-of-time-order correlations in many-body localized and thermal phases
Xiao Chen, Tianci Zhou, David A. Huse +1
We use the out-of-time-order (OTO) correlators to study the slow dynamics in the many-body localized (MBL) phase. We investigate OTO correlators in the effective ("l-bit") model of…
Parafermionic wires at the interface of chiral topological states
Luiz H. Santos, Taylor L. Hughes
We explore a scenario where local interactions form one-dimensional gapped interfaces between a pair of distinct chiral two-dimensional topological states - referred to as phases 1…
Numerical evidence for a chiral spin liquid in the XXZ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the kagome lattice at magnetization
Krishna Kumar, Hitesh J. Changlani, Bryan K. Clark +1
We perform an exact diagonalization study of the spin- XXZ Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice at finite magnetization with an emphasis on the X…
Bimodal entanglement entropy distribution in the many-body localization transition
Xiongjie Yu, David J. Luitz, Bryan K. Clark
We introduce the cut averaged entanglement entropy in disordered periodic spin chains and prove it to be a concave function of subsystem size for individual eigenstates. This allow…
Topological entanglement negativity in Chern-Simons theories
Xueda Wen, Po-Yao Chang, Shinsei Ryu
We study the topological entanglement negativity between two spatial regions in (2+1)-dimensional Chern-Simons gauge theories by using the replica trick and the surgery method. For…
Evolution operators in conformal field theories and conformal mappings: the entanglement Hamiltonian, the sine-square deformation, and others
Xueda Wen, Shinsei Ryu, Andreas W. W. Ludwig
By making use of conformal mapping, we construct various time-evolution operators in (1+1) dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs), which take the form $\int dx\, f(x) \mathcal…
Topological density-wave states in a particle-hole symmetric Weyl metal
Yuxuan Wang, Peng Ye
We study the instabilities of a particle-hole symmetric Weyl metal with both electron and hole Fermi surfaces (FS) around the Weyl points. For a repulsive interaction, we find that…
Fermion Parity Flips and Majorana Bound States at twist defects in Superconducting Fractional Topological Phases
Mayukh Nilay Khan, Jeffrey C. Y. Teo, Taylor L. Hughes +1
In this paper we consider a layered heterostructure of an Abelian topologically ordered state (TO), such as a fractional Chern insulator/quantum Hall state with an s-wave supercond…

We discuss the entanglement spectrum of the ground state of a gapped (1+1)-dimensional system in a phase near a quantum phase transition. In particular, in proximity to a quantum p…
Composite Particle Theory of Three-dimensional Gapped Fermionic Phases: Fractional Topological Insulators and Charge-Loop Excitation Symmetry
Peng Ye, Taylor L. Hughes, Joseph Maciejko +1
Topological phases of matter are usually realized in deconfined phases of gauge theories. In this context, confined phases with strongly fluctuating gauge fields seem to be irrelev…

In this paper we focus on the interplay between geometry defects and topological properties in bosonic symmetry protected topological(SPT) phases. We start from eight copies of 3D…

Shunji Matsuura, Xueda Wen, Ling-Yan Hung +1
A charged entanglement entropy is a new measure which probes quantum entanglement between different charge sectors. We study symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases in 2+1 dime…
Topological superconducting phases from inversion symmetry breaking order in spin-orbit-coupled systems
Yuxuan Wang, Gil Young Cho, Taylor L. Hughes +1
We analyze the superconducting instabilities in the vicinity of the quantum-critical point of an inversion symmetry breaking order. We first show that the fluctuations of the inver…
