We study translationally invariant spin chains where each unit cell contains an $n$-state projective representation of a $\mathbb{Z}_n\times\mathbb{Z}_n$ internal symmetry, generalizing the spin-1/2 XYZ chain. Such spin chains possess a…
Kramers degeneracy theorem is one of the basic results in quantum mechanics. According to it, the time-reversal symmetry makes each energy level of a half-integer spin system at least doubly degenerate, meaning the absence of transitions or…
We introduce a ${\mathbb Z}_2$-index for time reversal invariant Hamiltonians with unique gapped ground state on quantum spin chains. We show this is an invariant of a $C^1$-classification of gapped Hamiltonians.
We investigate the extension of pure-state symmetry protected topological phases to mixed-state regime with a strong U(1) and a weak $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetries in one-dimensional spin systems by the concept of quantum channels. We propose a…
The set of two-body reduced states of translation invariant, infinite quantum spin chains can be approximated from inside and outside using matrix product states and marginals of finite systems, respectively. These lead to hierarchies of…
