Gapped Parent Hamiltonians for the Strongly Deformed Toric Code

Nandagopal Manoj, Zack Weinstein, Jason Alicea

Local non-unitary deformations of topologically ordered wavefunctions can drive transitions into peculiar states that challenge modern perspectives on gapped quantum matter. The st…

Long-range deformations in Gaussian States

Francisco Pereira, Nandagopal Manoj, Sara Murciano

Imaginary-time evolution by a local Hamiltonian cannot induce a phase transition in one dimension, but longer-range interactions may subvert such constraints. Starting from the gro…

Non-Fermi liquid and Weyl superconductivity from the weakly interacting 3D electron gas at high magnetic fields

Nandagopal Manoj, Valerio Peri, Jason Alicea

Three-dimensional electron gases in strong magnetic fields host partially flat bands that disperse along the field direction yet exhibit Landau-level quantization in the transverse…

Probing Defects with Quantum Simulator Snapshots

Abhijat Sarma, Nayan Myerson-Jain, Yue Liu +4

Snapshots, i.e. projective measurements of local degrees of freedom, are the most standard data taken in experiments on quantum simulators. Snapshots are usually used to probe loca…

Non-commutative effective field theory of the lowest Landau level superfluid

Nandagopal Manoj

A 2+1D superfluid in a rapidly rotating trap forms an array of vortices, with collective excitations called Tkachenko modes. Du et al. (2024) argued from an effective field theory…

Three-dimensional quantum Hall states as a chiral electromagnetic filter

Nandagopal Manoj, Valerio Peri

Extensive research has explored the optical properties of topological insulating materials, driven by their inherent stability and potential applications. In this study, we unveil…

Arboreal Topological and Fracton Phases

Nandagopal Manoj, Vijay B. Shenoy

We describe topologically ordered and fracton ordered states on novel geometries which do not have an underlying manifold structure. Using tree graphs such as the -coordinated B…

Screw dislocations in the X-cube fracton model

Nandagopal Manoj, Kevin Slagle, Wilbur Shirley +1

The X-cube model, a prototypical gapped fracton model, has been shown to have a foliation structure. That is, inside the 3+1D model, there are hidden layers of 2+1D gapped topologi…

Tearing Fractons

Nandagopal Manoj, Roderich Moessner, Vijay B. Shenoy

We offer a fractonic perspective on a familiar observation -- a flat sheet of paper can be folded only along a straight line if one wants to avoid the creation of additional crease…
