Entanglement entropy, quantum fluctuations, and thermal entropy in topological phases

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
Entanglement entropy in topologically ordered matter phases has been computed extensively using various methods. In this paper, we study the entanglement entropy of topological phases in two-spaces from a new perspective — the perspective of ...

Extended dynamical symmetries of Landau levels in higher dimensions

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
Continuum models for time-reversal (TR) invariant topological insulators (Tis) in d ≥ 3 dimensions are provided by harmonic oscillators coupled to certain SO(d) gauge fields.

Fermion condensation and gapped domain walls in topological orders

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We study fermion condensation in bosonic topological orders in two spatial dimensions. Fermion condensation may be realized as gapped domain walls between bosonic and fermionic topological orders, which may be thought of as real-space phase transitions ...

Anyonic exclusions statistics on surfaces with gapped boundaries

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
An anyonic exclusion statistics, which generalizes the Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics of bosons and fermions, was proposed by Haldane [1].

Bandgap-assisted quantum control of topological edge states in a cavity

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2020
Quantum matter with exotic topological order has potential applications in quantum computation. However, in present experiments, the manipulations on topological states are still challenging.

Fusion rules and shrinking rules of topological orders in five dimensions

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2023
As a series of work about 5D (spacetime) topological orders, here we employ the path-integral formalism of 5D topological quantum field theory (TQFT) established in Zhang and Ye, JHEP 04 (2022) 138 to explore non-Abelian fusion rules, hierarchical ...

Engineering Time-Reversal Invariant Topological Insulators With Ultra-Cold Atoms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Topological insulators are a broad class of unconventional materials that are insulating in the interior but conduct along the edges. This edge transport is topologically protected and dissipationless. Until recently, all existing topological insulators,

Topological insulators and superconductors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter which can not be adiabatically connected to conventional insulators and semiconductors. They are characterized by a full insulating gap in the bulk and gapless edge or surface states which are ...

Topological orders, braiding statistics, and mixture of two types of twisted BF theories in five dimensions

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
Topological orders are a prominent paradigm for describing quantum many-body systems without symmetry-breaking orders. We present a topological quantum field theoretical (TQFT) study on topological orders in five-dimensional spacetime (5D) in which ...
