Synthetic anyons can be implemented in a noninteracting many-body system, by using specially tailored localized (physical) probes, which supply the demanded nontrivial topology in the system. We consider the Hamiltonian for noninteracting…

Topologically ordered quantum matter exhibits intriguing long-range patterns of entanglement, which reveal themselves in subsystem entropies. However, measuring such entropies, which can be used to certify topological order, on large…
In this work, we explore a microscopic realization of three types of anyonic symmetries in a $\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological order, corresponding to a double toric code. These symmetries act as nontrivial permutations on the…
A topological order is a new quantum phase that is beyond Landau's symmetry-breaking paradigm. Its defining features include robust degenerate ground states, long-range entanglement and anyons. It was known that $R$- and $F$-matrices, which…

Within the toric-code phase, we study parameterized families of topologically ordered states. We construct $1$- and $2$-parameter families of local Hamiltonians and confirm their non-triviality via topological pumping. For the $1$-parameter…

The toric code is a simple and exactly solvable example of topological order realising Abelian anyons. However, it was shown to support non-local lattice defects, namely twists, which exhibit non-Abelian anyonic behaviour [1]. Motivated by…
It has long been known that long-ranged entangled topological phases can be exploited to protect quantum information against unwanted local errors. Indeed, conditions for intrinsic topological order are reminiscent of criteria for faithful…
