We show that for closed finite sized systems with an odd number of real fermionic modes, even in the presence of interactions, there are always at least two fermionic operators that commute with the Hamiltonian.There is a zero mode…

This paper presents a novel training matrix design for spatial modulation (SM) systems, by introducing a new class of two-dimensional (2D) arrays called sparse zero correlation zone (SZCZ) arrays. An SZCZ array is characterized by a…

In several models of beyond Standard Model physics (BSM) discrete symmetries play an important role. For instance, in order to avoid flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC), a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry is imposed on Two-Higgs-Doublet-Models…

We study the underlying extended supersymmetric structure in a system composed of fermions scattered off an infinitely extended static domain wall in the $xz$-plane. As we shall demonstrate, the fermionic scattered states are associated to…

Parafermion zero modes are generalizations of Majorana modes that underlie comparatively rich non-Abelian-anyon properties. We introduce exact mappings that connect parafermion chains, which can emerge in two-dimensional fractionalized…

We consider supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on R x S^1 x S^1. In particular, we choose one of the compact directions to be light-like and another to be space-like. Since the SDLCQ regularization explicitly preserves supersymmetry, this…

We present new integrable models of interacting spin-1/2 chains, which can be interpreted as hard rod deformations of the XXZ Heisenberg chains. The models support multiple particle types: dynamical hard rods of length $\ell$ and particles…

Exploration of topology protected by a certain symmetry is central in condensed matter physics. A recent idea of sub-symmetry-protected (SSP) topology--remains of a broken symmetry can still protect specific topological boundary states--has…

Discovering quantum orders in mixed many-body systems is an ongoing issue. Very recently, the notion of an intrinsic mixed state topologically-ordered (IMTO) state was proposed. As a concrete example, we observe the emergence of IMTO by…

Majorana zero mode (MZM) exhibits inherent resilience to local parametric fluctuations, due to the topological protection mechanism in the non-Abelian braiding statistics of the anyonic quasiparticles. In this paper, we construct the…
