Measures of Chirality in Mixed-State Topological Phases
Shijun Sun, Bader Aldossari, Rasmit Devkota +1
What does it mean for a mixed-state topological phase to be chiral? Mathematically, chirality can be sharply characterized through the symmetry algebra of the mixed state. Physical…
Entropic Barriers and the Kinetic Suppression of Topological Defects
Yi-Lin Tsao, Zhu-Xi Luo
Many quantum phases, from topological orders to superfluids, are destabilized at finite temperature by the proliferation and motion of topological defects such as anyons or vortice…
Strong-to-weak spontaneous breaking of 1-form symmetry and intrinsically mixed topological order
Carolyn Zhang, Yichen Xu, Jian-Hao Zhang +3
Topological orders in 2+1d are spontaneous symmetry-breaking (SSB) phases of 1-form symmetries in pure states. The notion of symmetry is further enriched in the context of mixed st…
Exact, Average, and Broken Symmetries in a Simple Adaptive Monitored Circuit
Zhi Li, Zhu-Xi Luo
Symmetry is a powerful tool for understanding phases of matter in equilibrium. Quantum circuits with measurements have recently emerged as a platform for novel states of matter int…
