By considering specific limits in the gauge coupling constant of pure Yang--Mills dynamics, it is shown how there exist topological quantum field theory sectors in such systems defining nonperturbative topological configurations of the…
The coupling between two or more objects can generally be categorized as strong or weak. In cavity quantum electrodynamics for example, when the coupling strength is larger than the loss rate the coupling is termed strong, and otherwise it…

We study several different $Z_2$ topological ordered states in frustrated spin systems. The effective theories for those different Z_2 topological orders all have the same form -- a Z_2 gauge theory which can also be written as a mutual…
We introduce a generalization of entanglement based on the idea that entanglement is relative to a distinguished subspace of observables rather than a distinguished subsystem decomposition. A pure quantum state is entangled relative to such…
The definition of 'classical state', and how it was used in earlier work to prove a decomposition theorem internally in the language of State Property Systems, presupposes as an additional datum an orthocomplementation on the property…

Entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of uncertainty of a quantum state. For quantum fields in curved space, entanglement entropy of the quantum field theory degrees of freedom is well-defined for a fixed background geometry. In this…

We study the entanglement entropy in confining theories with gravity duals using the holographic prescription of Ryu and Takayanagi. The entanglement entropy between a region and its complement is proportional to the minimal area of a bulk…
The hypergraph states are pure multipartite quantum states corresponding to a hypergraph. It is an equal superposition of the states belonging to the computational basis. Given any hypergraph, we can construct a hypergraph state determined…
We use the 3d-3d correspondence together with the DGG construction of theories $T_n[M]$ labelled by 3-manifolds M to define a non-perturbative state-integral model for SL(n,C) Chern-Simons theory at any level k, based on ideal…
Quantum hypergraph states extend the well-studied class of graph states by taking into account multi-qubit interactions through hyperedges. They provide a powerful framework to represent a family of quantum states with genuine multipartite…
We establish an important duality correspondence between topological order in quantum many body systems and criticality in ferromagnetic classical spin systems. We show how such a correspondence leads to a classical and simple procedure for…
In this paper we study the consistency of generalized global symmetries in theories of quantum gravity, in particular string theory. Such global symmetries arise in theories with $(p+1)$-form gauge fields, and for spacetime dimension $d\leq…
The geometrical description of a Hilbert space asociated with a quantum system considers a Hermitian tensor to describe the scalar inner product of vectors which are now described by vector fields. The real part of this tensor represents a…
