We show that whereas spin-1/2 one-dimensional U(1) quantum-link models (QLMs) are topologically trivial, when implemented in ladder-like lattices these models may present an intriguing ground-state phase diagram, which includes a symmetry…
In [Z.-X. Liu, M. Liu, X.-G. Wen, arXiv:1101.5680], we studied 8 gapped symmetric quantum phases in S=1 spin chains %/ladders which respect a discrete spin rotation $D_2 \subset SO(3)$ and time reversal $T$ symmetries. In this paper, using…

We demonstrate how to construct the Z2*Z2 global symmetry which protects the ground state degeneracy of cluster states for open boundary conditions. Such a degeneracy ultimately arises because the set of stabilizers do not span a complete…

Symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases are gapped short-range-entangled quantum phases with a symmetry G. They can all be smoothly connected to the same trivial product state if we break the symmetry. The Haldane phase of spin-1 chain…
Spin-1/2 two-legged ladders respecting inter-leg exchange symmetry and D2 spin rotation symmetry have new symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases which are different from the Haldane phase. Three of the new SPT phases are tx,ty,tz,…

We present a class of exactly solvable 2D models whose ground states violate conventional beliefs about entanglement scaling in quantum matter. These beliefs are (i) that area law entanglement scaling originates from local correlations…

Symmetry protected topological states cannot be deformed to a trivial state so long as the symmetry is preserved, yet there is no local order parameter that can distinguish them from a trivial state. We demonstrate how to detect whether a…

The concept of topological phases is a powerful framework to characterize ground states of quantum many-body systems that goes beyond the paradigm of symmetry breaking. While a few topological phases appear in condensed matter systems, a…
