Probabilistic Simulation of Quantum Circuits with the Transformer
Juan Carrasquilla, Di Luo, Felipe Pérez +4
The fundamental question of how to best simulate quantum systems using conventional computational resources lies at the forefront of condensed matter and quantum computation. It im…
Non-local order parameters for states with topological electromagnetic response
Thomas Klein Kvorning, Christian Spånslätt, AtMa P. O. Chan +1
Chern insulators are states of matter characterized by a quantized Hall conductance, gapless edge modes but also a singular response to monopole configurations of an external elect…
Tutorial: Computing topological invariants in two-dimensional photonic crystals
María Blanco de Paz, Chiara Devescovi, Geza Giedke +5
The field of topological photonics emerged as one of the most promising areas for applications in transformative technologies: possible applications are in topological lasers or qu…
Framework for simulating gauge theories with dipolar spin systems
Di Luo, Jiayu Shen, Michael Highman +4
Gauge theories appear broadly in physics, ranging from the standard model of particle physics to long-wavelength descriptions of topological systems in condensed matter. However, s…
Second-order Lovelock Gravity from Entanglement in Conformal Field Theories
Cunwei Fan, Gabriele La Nave, Philip W. Phillips
Holographic entanglement entropy and the first law of thermodynamics are believed to decode the gravity theory in the bulk. In particular, assuming the Ryu-Takayanagi (RT)\cite{ryu…
Exact Superconducting Instability in a Doped Mott Insulator
Philip W. Phillips, Luke Yeo, Edwin W. Huang
Because the cuprate superconductors are doped Mott insulators, it would be advantageous to solve even a toy model that exhibits both Mottness and superconductivity. We consider the…
Twisted Kitaev Bilayers and the Moiré Ising Model
Julian May-Mann, Taylor L. Hughes
In recent years, there have been numerous examples of twisted bilayer systems that host remarkable physical properties that are not found in their untwisted counterparts. Motivated…
Engineering Topological Models with a General-Purpose Symmetry-to-Hamiltonian Approach
Eli Chertkov, Benjamin Villalonga, Bryan K. Clark
Symmetry is at the heart of modern physics. Phases of matter are classified by symmetry breaking, topological phases are characterized by non-local symmetries, and point group symm…
Disorder driven phase transitions in weak AIII topological insulators
Jahan Claes, Taylor Hughes
The tenfold classification of topological phases enumerates all strong topological phases for both clean and disordered systems. These strong topological phases are connected to th…
Hall viscosity in quantum systems with discrete symmetry: point group and lattice anisotropy
Pranav Rao, Barry Bradlyn
Inspired by recent experiments on graphene, we examine the non-dissipative viscoelastic response of anisotropic two-dimensional quantum systems. We pay particular attention to elec…
Identifying Higher Order Topology and Fractional Corner Charge Using Entanglement Spectra
Penghao Zhu, Kieran Loehr, Taylor L. Hughes
We study the entanglement spectrum (ES) of two-dimensional -symmetric second-order topological insulators (TIs). We show that some characteristic higher order topological ob…
Temperature dependence of quantum oscillations from non-parabolic dispersions
Chunyu Guo, A. Alexandradinata, Carsten Putzke +16
The phase offset of quantum oscillations is commonly used to experimentally diagnose topologically non-trivial Fermi surfaces. This methodology, however, is inconclusive for spin-o…
Collusion of Interactions and Disorder at the Superfluid-Insulator Transition: A Dirty 2d Quantum Critical Point
Hart Goldman, Alex Thomson, Laimei Nie +1
We study the stability of the Wilson-Fisher fixed point of the quantum vector model to quenched disorder in the large- limit. While a random mass is strongly re…
Theory of Dipole Insulators
Oleg Dubinkin, Julian May-Mann, Taylor L. Hughes
Insulating systems are characterized by their insensitivity to twisted boundary conditions as quantified by the charge stiffness and charge localization length. The latter quantity…
Multipolar Topological Field Theories: Bridging Higher Order Topological Insulators and Fractons
Yizhi You, F. J. Burnell, Taylor L. Hughes
Two new recently proposed classes of topological phases, namely fractons and higher order topological insulators (HOTIs), share at least superficial similarities. The wide variety…
Vortex and Surface Phase Transitions in Superconducting Higher-order Topological Insulators
Sayed Ali Akbar Ghorashi, Taylor L. Hughes, Enrico Rossi
Topological insulators (TIs) having intrinsic or proximity-coupled s-wave superconductivity host Majorana zero modes (MZMs) at the ends of vortex lines. The MZMs survive up to a cr…
Emergence of Quasiparticles in a Doped Mott Insulator
Yao Wang, Yu He, Krzysztof Wohlfeld +9
How a Mott insulator develops into a weakly coupled metal upon doping is a central question to understanding various emergent correlated phenomena. To analyze this evolution and it…
Crystallographic splitting theorem for band representations and fragile topological photonic crystals
A. Alexandradinata, J. Höller, Chong Wang +2
The fundamental building blocks in band theory are band representations (BRs): bands whose infinitely-numbered Wannier functions are generated (by action of a space group) from a f…
Classification of symmetry-protected topological phases in two-dimensional many body-localized systems
Joey Li, Amos Chan, Thorsten B. Wahl
We use low-depth quantum circuits, a specific type of tensor networks, to classify two-dimensional symmetry-protected topological many-body localized phases. For (anti-)unitary on-…
Strong and Fragile Topological Dirac Semimetals with Higher-Order Fermi Arcs
Benjamin J. Wieder, Zhijun Wang, Jennifer Cano +4
Dirac and Weyl semimetals both exhibit arc-like surface states. However, whereas the surface Fermi arcs in Weyl semimetals are topological consequences of the Weyl points themselve…
Boundary-obstructed topological phases
Eslam Khalaf, Wladimir A. Benalcazar, Taylor L. Hughes +1
Symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases are gapped phases of matter that cannot be deformed to a trivial phase without breaking the symmetry or closing the bulk gap. Here, we i…
Classification of Non-local Actions: Area versus Volume Entanglement Entropy
Bora Basa, Gabriele La Nave, Philip W. Phillips
From the partition function for two classes of classically non-local actions containing the fractional Laplacian, we show that as long as there exists a suitable (non-local) Hilber…
Observation and control of maximal Chern numbers in a chiral topological semimetal
Niels B. M. Schröter, Samuel Stolz, Kaustuv Manna +13
