Topological phases and quantum criticality from Chern-Simons-matter theories

Yunchao Hao, Yingcheng Li, Kangle Li +1

Motivated by recent numerical studies where various Chern-Simons-matter theories emerge, we analytically study topological phases and quantum criticality in two-dimensional…

Microscopic universal theory of symmetry-enriched topological quantum spin liquids

Yingcheng Li, Liujun Zou

An ultimate theory of a phase of matter should describe all its universal properties via quantities that are measurable numerically and experimentally. In this work, we present a m…

Lieb-Schultz-Mattis Anomalies and Anomaly Matching

Liujun Zou, Meng Cheng

Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) anomalies are powerful symmetry-based constraints on the correlation, entanglement and dynamics of quantum many-body systems. In this review, we discuss v…

Universal Decay of Mutual Information and Conditional Mutual Information in Gapped Pure- and Mixed-State Quantum Matter

Jinmin Yi, Kangle Li, Chuan Liu +2

For spin and fermionic systems in any spatial dimension, we establish that the superpolynomial decay behavior of mutual information and conditional mutual information is a universa…

When does a lattice higher-form symmetry flow to a topological higher-form symmetry at low energies?

Ruizhi Liu, Pok Man Tam, Ho Tat Lam +1

We study the lattice version of higher-form symmetries on tensor-product Hilbert spaces. Interestingly, at low energies, these symmetries may not flow to the topological higher-for…

Entanglement area law and Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem in long-range interacting systems, and symmetry-enforced long-range entanglement

Ruizhi Liu, Jinmin Yi, Shiyu Zhou +1

We establish multiple interrelated, fundamental results in quantum many-body systems that can have long-range interactions. For a sufficiently long quantum spin chain, we first sho…
