Assembling Kitaev honeycomb spin liquids from arrays of 1D symmetry protected topological phases
Yue Liu, Nathanan Tantivasadakarn, Kevin Slagle +2
The Kitaev honeycomb model, which is exactly solvable by virtue of an extensive number of conserved quantities, supports a gapless quantum spin liquid phase as well as gapped desce…
Quantum spin liquids bootstrapped from Ising criticality in Rydberg arrays
Kevin Slagle, Yue Liu, David Aasen +5
Arrays of Rydberg atoms constitute a highly tunable, strongly interacting venue for the pursuit of exotic states of matter. We develop a new strategy for accessing a family of frac…
Dynamical anyon generation in Kitaev honeycomb non-Abelian spin liquids
Yue Liu, Kevin Slagle, Kenneth S. Burch +1
Relativistic Mott insulators known as 'Kitaev materials' potentially realize spin liquids hosting non-Abelian anyons. Motivated by fault-tolerant quantum-computing applications in…
Microscopic characterization of Ising conformal field theory in Rydberg chains
Kevin Slagle, David Aasen, Hannes Pichler +5
Rydberg chains provide an appealing platform for probing conformal field theories (CFTs) that capture universal behavior in a myriad of physical settings. Focusing on a Rydberg cha…
Comments on Foliated Gauge Theories and Dualities in 3+1d
Po-Shen Hsin, Kevin Slagle
We investigate the properties of foliated gauge fields and construct several foliated field theories in 3+1d that describe foliated fracton orders both with and without matter, inc…
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…
Charge Transfer Excitations, Pair Density Waves, and Superconductivity in Moiré Materials
Kevin Slagle, Liang Fu
Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) bilayers are a new class of tunable moiré systems attracting interest as quantum simulators of strongly-interacting electrons in two dimension…
Topological Defect Networks for Fractons of all Types
David Aasen, Daniel Bulmash, Abhinav Prem +2
Fracton phases exhibit striking behavior which appears to render them beyond the standard topological quantum field theory (TQFT) paradigm for classifying gapped quantum matter. He…
Twisted foliated fracton phases
Wilbur Shirley, Kevin Slagle, Xie Chen
In the study of three-dimensional gapped models, two-dimensional gapped states should be considered as a free resource. This is the basic idea underlying the notion of `foliated fr…
Unfrustrating the t-J Model: d-wave BCS Superconductivity in the -- Model
Kevin Slagle
The t-J model is believed to be a minimal model that may be capable of describing the low-energy physics of the cuprate superconductors. However, although the t-J model is simple i…
Foliated Field Theory and String-Membrane-Net Condensation Picture of Fracton Order
Kevin Slagle, David Aasen, Dominic Williamson
Foliated fracton order is a qualitatively new kind of phase of matter. It is similar to topological order, but with the fundamental difference that a layered structure, referred to…
Symmetric Tensor Gauge Theories on Curved Spaces
Kevin Slagle, Abhinav Prem, Michael Pretko
Fractons and other subdimensional particles are an exotic class of emergent quasi-particle excitations with severely restricted mobility. A wide class of models featuring these qua…
Foliated fracton order in the checkerboard model
Wilbur Shirley, Kevin Slagle, Xie Chen
In this work, we show that the checkerboard model exhibits the phenomenon of foliated fracton order. We introduce a renormalization group transformation for the model that utilizes…
Fractional excitations in foliated fracton phases
Wilbur Shirley, Kevin Slagle, Xie Chen
Fractional excitations in fracton models exhibit novel features not present in conventional topological phases: their mobility is constrained, there are an infinitude of types, and…

Wilbur Shirley, Kevin Slagle, Xie Chen
Based on several previous examples, we summarize explicitly the general procedure to gauge models with subsystem symmetries, which are symmetries with generators that have support…
Universal entanglement signatures of foliated fracton phases
Wilbur Shirley, Kevin Slagle, Xie Chen
Fracton models exhibit a variety of exotic properties and lie beyond the conventional framework of gapped topological order. In a previous work, we generalized the notion of gapped…

Wilbur Shirley, Kevin Slagle, Zhenghan Wang +1
Fracton models, a collection of exotic gapped lattice Hamiltonians recently discovered in three spatial dimensions, contain some 'topological' features: they support fractional bul…

Quantum Field Theory of X-Cube Fracton Topological Order and Robust Degeneracy from Geometry
Kevin Slagle, Yong Baek Kim
We propose a quantum field theory description of the X-cube model of fracton topological order. The field theory is not (and cannot be) a topological quantum field theory (TQFT), s…
