• Title: Non-Liquid Cellular States
• Authors: Juven Wang
• Abstract summary: We generalize the cellular topological states to liquid or non-liquid cellular states. We propose a mechanism to construct more general non-abelian states by gluing gauge-symmetry-breaking vs gauge-symmetry-extension interfaces. This approach may also lead us toward a unifying framework for quantum systems of both higher-symmetries and sub-system/sub-dimensional symmetries.

• Abstract: The existence of quantum non-liquid states and fracton orders, both gapped and gapless states, challenges our understanding of phases of entangled matter. We generalize the cellular topological states to liquid or non-liquid cellular states. We propose a mechanism to construct more general non-abelian states by gluing gauge-symmetry-breaking vs gauge-symmetry-extension interfaces as extended defects in a cellular network, including defects of higher-symmetries, in any dimension. Our approach also naturally incorporates the anyonic particle/string condensations and composite string (related to particle-string or p-string)/membrane condensations. This approach shows gluing the familiar extended topological quantum field theory or conformal field theory data via topology, geometry, and renormalization consistency criteria (via certain modified group cohomology or cobordism theory data) in a tensor network can still guide us to analyze the non-liquid states. (Part of the abelian construction can be understood from the K-matrix Chern-Simons theory approach and the coupled-layer-by-junction constructions.) This approach may also lead us toward a unifying framework for quantum systems of both higher-symmetries and sub-system/sub-dimensional symmetries.

  We introduce a class of intrinsic symmetry-protected topological mixed-state in open quantum systems. The mSPT phases cannot be realized as the ground states of a gapped Hamiltonian under thermal equilibrium. A detailed comparison of the hierarchical structure of boundary anomalies in both pure and mixed states is presented.

  We take a step toward classifying mixed-state topological orders in two spatial dimensions. We establish mixed-state topological orders that are intrinsically mixed, i.e., that have no ground state counterpart. We conjecture that mixed-state topological orders are classified by premodular anyon theories.

  We study the topological point defects and textures of order parameters in two-dimensional quantum many-body systems. In the absence of intrinsic topological orders, we show a connection between the symmetry properties of point defects and textures to deconfined quantum criticality. When the symmetry-breaking ground state have intrinsic topological orders, we show that the point defects can permute different anyons when braided around.

  We investigate the phase diagram of hard-core bosons in two-leg ladders in the presence of soft-shoulder potentials. We show how the competition between local and non-local terms gives rise to a phase diagram with liquid phases with dominant cluster, spin, and density-wave quasi-long-range ordering.

  We analytically diagonalize the Liouvillian of a class Markovian dissipative systems with arbitrary strong interactions or nonlinearity.

Our method is applicable to a variety of other systems, and could provide a powerful new tool for the study of complex driven-dissipative quantum systems.

The onset of quantum interference leads to spontaneous breaking of the lattice translational symmetry. The emerging quantum phase is a topological insulator and is found at half fillings.

• Probing chiral edge dynamics and bulk topology of a synthetic Hall system [52.77024349608834]
  Quantum Hall systems are characterized by the quantization of the Hall conductance -- a bulk property rooted in the topological structure of the underlying quantum states. Here, we realize a quantum Hall system using ultracold dysprosium atoms, in a two-dimensional geometry formed by one spatial dimension. We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
