The existence of quantum non-liquid states and fracton orders, both gapped and gapless states, challenges our understanding of phases of entangled matter. We generalize the cellular topological states to liquid or non-liquid cellular…

We establish a topological sum rule, $\nu_U = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sum_n\gamma_n = 2m\nu_H$, connecting the geometric phases accumulated by a two-qubit system over a complete basis of initial states to the winding number $\nu_H$ classifying its…

Many topologically nontrivial states of matter possess gapless degrees of freedom on the boundary, and when these boundary states delocalize into the bulk, a phase transition occurs and the system becomes topologically trivial. We show that…
