Topologically-ordered quantum states with Abelian excitations can host defects that obey effective non-Abelian statistics, in principle allowing for quantum information processing via defect braiding. These extrinsic defects (or twists) are…
Flat bands, in which kinetic energy is quenched and quantum states become macroscopically degenerate, host a rich variety of correlated and topological phases, from unconventional superconductors to fractional Chern insulators. In Hermitian…
