In this paper, we give a generalization of Kitaev's stabilizer code based on chain complex theory of bicommutative Hopf algebras. Due to the bicommutativity, the Kitaev's stabilizer code extends to a broader class of spaces, e.g. finite…

In the framework of locally covariant quantum field theory, a theory is described as a functor from a category of spacetimes to a category of *-algebras. It is proposed that the global gauge group of such a theory can be identified as the…

In this paper we look at 3D lattice models that are generalizations of the state sum model used to define the Kuperberg invariant of 3-manifolds. The partition function is a scalar constructed as a tensor network where the building blocks…

On top of a $D$-dimensional gapped bulk state, Low Entanglement Excitations (LEE) on $d$($<D$)-dimensional sub-manifolds can have extensive energy but preserves the entanglement area law of the ground state. Due to their multi-dimensional…
In this work we consider the Kitaev Toric Code with specific open boundary conditions. Such a physical system has a highly degenerate ground state determined by the degrees of freedom localised at the boundaries. We can write down an…
