Quantum spin-lattice systems in low dimensions exhibit a variety of interesting zero-temperature phases, some of which show non-classical (i.e., non-magnetic) long-range orders, such as dimer or trimer valence-bond order. These…

Topological phases, like the celebrated Haldane phase in spin-1 chains, defy characterization through local order parameters. Instead, non-local string order parameters can be employed to reveal their hidden order. Similar diluted magnetic…

The characterization of quantum magnetism in a large spin ($\geq 1$) system naturally involves both spin-vectors and -tensors. While certain types of spin-vector (e.g., ferromagnetic, spiral) and spin-tensor (e.g., nematic in frustrated…

Twisted moir\'e superlattices (TMSs) are fascinating materials with exotic physical properties. Despite tremendous studies on electronic, photonic and phononic TMSs, it has never been witnessed that TMSs can exhibit higher-order band…

We construct an observable mixed state topological order parameter for symmetry-protected free fermion matter. It resolves the entire table of topological insulators and superconductors, relying exclusively on the symmetry class, but not on…

We analyze the $\tfrac{1}{2}[521]\,\nu$ quasiparticle rotational bands along the $N = 99,\;101,\;103$ isotonic chains using semi-empirical model in which first and higher order Coriolis terms are treated perturbatively. A dedicated Python…

Recent realizations of exotic topological states in condensed matter and cold atoms have advanced the exploration for topological characteristics, such as invariant topological orders and band inversion. Here we construct a 1D optical…

We prove a trade-off theorem for order and disorder parameters in one-dimensional quantum spin systems with quenched disorder. For a disordered ensemble with exact Ising symmetry and average translation symmetry, any gapped ensemble must…

We investigate theoretically the ordering effect of quantum spin fluctuations in a Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a two-dimensional network of corner sharing tetrahedra. This network is obtained as a {111} slice of the highly frustrated…

The conventional order parameters in quantum matters are often characterized by 'spontaneous' broken symmetries. However, sometimes the broken symmetries may blend with the invariant symmetries to lead to mysterious emergent phases. The…

We find that a $Z$-string is stable in a wide range of parameter space of the two Higgs doublet model due to a split into a pair of two topological $Z$-strings with fractional $Z$ fluxes. This configuration, a bound state of the two strings…

In this paper, we construct strange correlators and string order parameters for non-invertible symmetry protected topological phases (NISPTs) in 1+1d quantum lattice spin models. The strange correlator exhibits long-range order when…

We investigate the presence of spin- and planar- squeezing in generalized superpositions of atomic (or spin) coherent states (ACS). Spin-squeezing has been shown to be a useful tool in determining the presence of entanglement in…

We present a hybrid variational framework for quantum optimal control aimed at high-fidelity state transfer in spin chains. The system dynamics are discretized and compiled into a parameterized circuit, where deterministic two-qubit blocks…

We observe signatures of disorder-induced order in 1D XY spin chains with an external, site-dependent uni-axial random field within the XY plane. We numerically investigate signatures of a quantum phase transition at T=0, in particular an…

We present an approach to identify topological order based on unbiased infinite projected entangled-pair states (iPEPS) simulations, i.e. where we do not impose a virtual symmetry on the tensors during the optimization of the tensor network…

We show that monolayer graphene intrinsically hosts higher-order topological corner states, in which electrons are localized topologically at atomic sizes. The emergence of the topological corner states in graphene is due to a nontrivial…

We study the effects of random bonds on spin chains that have an excitation gap in the absence of randomness. The dimerized spin-1/2 chain is our principal example. Using an asymptotically exact real space decimation renormalization group…

We review recent progress in understanding the different spatial broken symmetries that occur in the normal states of the family of charge-transfer solids (CTS) that exhibit superconductivity (SC), and discuss how this knowledge gives…

Motivated by recent neutron scattering experiments on the cuprate superconductors, we present a phenomenological framework describing the dynamics of collective spin excitations coupled to charge/bond order fluctuations. Our quantum lattice…
