Fracton order is a new kind of quantum order characterized by topological excitations that exhibit remarkable mobility restrictions and a robust ground state degeneracy (GSD) which can increase exponentially with system size. In this paper,…

Higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) are unique materials hosting topologically protected states, whose dimensionality is at least by a factor of 2 lower than that of the bulk. Topological states in such insulators may be strongly…

Topology is familiar mostly from mathematics, but also natural sciences have found its concepts useful. Those concepts have been used to explain several natural phenomena in biology and physics, and they are particularly relevant for the…

Gauging introduces gauge fields in order to localize an existing global symmetry, resulting in a dual global symmetry on the gauge fields that can be gauged again. By iterating the gauging process on spin chains with Abelian group…

Topology in condensed matter physics manifests itself in the emergence of edge or surface states protected by underlying symmetries. We review two-dimensional topological insulators whose one-dimensional edge states are characterized by…

Exploring novel topological matters with exotic quantum states has always been a core issue in the field of condensed matter physics, which can update the understanding of topological phases and broaden the classification of topological…

We introduce the notion of (abelian) similarity scheme, as a constructive model for topological self-similar fractals, in the same way in which the notion of iterated function system furnishes a constructive notion of self-similar fractals…

The term fractal describes a class of complex structures exhibiting self-similarity across different scales. Fractal patterns can be created by using various techniques such as finite subdivision rules and iterated function systems. In this…

Spin liquids are exotic phases of matter that often support emergent gauge fields and quasi-particle excitations. While spin liquids are commonly known for remaining disordered, their definition has been extended to include phases with…

We propose and analyse an efficient scheme for simulating higher-order topological phases of matter in two dimensional (2D) spin-phononic crystal networks. We show that, through a specially designed periodic driving, one can selectively…
