Symplectic field theory (SFT) is a collection of homology theories that provide invariants for contact manifolds. We give a proof that vanishing of any one of either contact homology, rational SFT or (full) SFT are equivalent. We call a…

Symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases extend the Landau paradigm of quantum matter by admitting distinct symmetry-preserving phases that lack any local order parameter. Demonstrating these phases at scale on programmable quantum…

Topological invariants have proved useful for analyzing emergent function as they characterize a property of the entire system, and are insensitive to local details, disorder, and noise. They support boundary states, which reduce the system…
