We start from two closure operators defined on the elements of a special kind of partially ordered sets, called causal nets. Causal nets are used to model histories of concurrent processes, recording occurrences of local states and of…

Physical configurations corresponding to topological excitations present in the XY limit of a quantum spin 1/2 Heisenberg ferromagnet, are investigated on a two dimensional square lattice. Quantum vortices(anti-vortices) are constructed in…

We show that the low-energy states of non-Abelian topological orders possess extensive magic which is long-ranged, and cannot be eliminated by a constant-depth local unitary circuit. This refines conventional notions of complexity beyond…

Topological photonics is an emerging research area that focuses on the topological states of classical light. Here we reveal the topological phases that are intrinsic to the particle nature of light, i.e., solely related to the quantized…

Although the topological order is known as a quantum order in quantum many-body systems, it seems that there is not a one-to-one correspondence between topological phases and quantum phases. As a well-known example, it has been shown that…

First we discuss various topological objects (monopoles, ``minopoles'' and ``hybrids'') which may be important for the confinement mechanism in various abelian projections. The second topic is the string between quark and antiquark. The…

We present a general analysis of two-dimensional optical lattice models that give rise to topologically non-trivial insulating states. We identify the main ingredients of the lattice models that are responsible for the non-trivial…

Topological qubits based on $SU(N)$-symmetric valence-bond solid models are constructed. A logical topological qubit is the ground subspace with two-fold degeneracy, which is due to the spontaneous breaking of a global parity symmetry. A…

Through a redefinition of patterns in an Hopfield-like model, we introduce and develop an approach to model discrete systems made up of many, interacting components with inner degrees of freedom. Our approach clarifies the intrinsic…

We introduce a systematic mathematical language for describing fixed point models and apply it to the study to topological phases of matter. The framework is reminiscent of state-sum models and lattice topological quantum field theories,…

We develop a systematic framework for understanding symmetries in topological phases in 2+1 dimensions using the string-net model, encompassing both gauge symmetries that preserve anyon species and global symmetries permuting anyon species,…

There can exist topological obstructions to continuously deforming a gapped Hamiltonian for free fermions into a trivial form without closing the gap. These topological obstructions are closely related to obstructions to the existence of…

We present a toy model with a Hamiltonian $H^{(2)}_T$ on a folded one-dimensional spin chain. The non-trivial ground states of $H^{(2)}_T$ are separated by a gap from the excited states. By analyzing the symmetries in the model, we find…

We generalize the area-law violating models of Fredkin and Motzkin spin chains into two dimensions by building quantum six- and nineteen-vertex models with correlated interactions. The Hamiltonian is frustration free, and its projectors…

We classify the order parameters on the honeycomb lattice using the SO(4) symmetry of the Hubbard model. We will focus on the topologically nontrivial quantum spin Hall order and spin triplet superconductor, which together belong to the (3,…

We demonstrate general classifications of Riemann surface topology generated by multiple arbitrary-order exceptional points of quasi-stationary states. Our studies reveal all possible product permutations of holonomy matrices that describe…

We study planar two-dimensional quantum systems on a lattice whose Hamiltonian is a sum of local commuting projectors of bounded range. We consider whether or not such a system has a zero energy ground state. To do this, we consider the…

We study a Hamiltonian system describing a three spin-1/2 cluster-like interaction competing with an Ising-like exchange. We show that the ground state in the cluster phase possesses symmetry protected topological order. A continuous…

We investigate domain walls between topologically ordered phases in two spatial dimensions and present a simple but general framework from which their degrees of freedom can be understood. The approach we present exploits the results on…
