Non-onsite symmetry breaking: topological phase coexistence and criticality
Zhehao Zhang, Yabo Li, Tsung-Cheng Lu
We explore the states of matter arising from the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) of non-onsite symmetries. In one spatial dimension, we construct a frustration-f…

Localization Tensor Revisited: Geometric-Probabilistic Foundations and a Structure-Factor Criterion under Periodic Boundaries
Zhe-Hao Zhang, Xiaoming Cai, Yi-Cong Yu
We revisit the localization tensor (LT) from geometric and probabilistic perspectives and construct extensions that are naturally compatible with periodic boundary conditions (PBC)…

Universal Properties of Critical Mixed States from Measurement and Feedback
Zhehao Zhang, Yijian Zou, Timothy H. Hsieh +1
We explore the universal properties of mixed quantum matter obtained from "single-shot" adaptive evolution, in which a quantum-critical ground-state is manipulated through a single…
