Toward Hamiltonian simulations of Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory: constant modes and gauge field truncation

Andrea Bulgarelli, Maria Cristina Diamantini, Nico Dichter +6

Maxwell-Chern-Simons (MCS) theory in $2+1$ dimensions provides a paradigmatic example of a topological gauge theory with both dynamical and topological degrees of freedom. Its Eucl…
