An entropic invariant for 2D gapped quantum phases
arXiv:1810.02376 · doi:10.1088/1751-8121/ab63a5
Abstract
We introduce an entropic quantity for two-dimensional (2D) quantum spin systems to characterize gapped quantum phases modeled by local commuting projector code Hamiltonians. The definition is based on a recently introduced specific operator algebra defined on an annular region, which encodes the superselection sectors of the model. The quantity is calculable from local properties, and it is invariant under any constant-depth local quantum circuit, and thus an indicator of gapped quantum spin-liquids. We explicitly calculate the quantity for Kitaev's quantum double models, and show that the value is exactly same as the topological entanglement entropy of the models. Our method circumvents some of the problems around extracting the TEE, allowing us to prove invariance under constant-depth quantum circuits.
