Title: Measuring Topological Order
Authors: Parsa Bonderson
Abstract summary: The order of a (2+1)D topological phase of matter is characterized by its chiral central charge and a unitary modular tensor category. I discuss the topologically invariant quantities associated with these and identify ones that are useful for determining the topological order.

Abstract: The topological order of a (2+1)D topological phase of matter is characterized by its chiral central charge and a unitary modular tensor category that describes the universal fusion and braiding properties of its anyonic quasiparticles. I discuss the topologically invariant quantities associated with these and identify ones that are useful for determining the topological order. I propose a variety of physical experiments that probe these quantities and detail the relation of the measured data to the topological invariants.

Topological Tenfold Classification and the Entanglement of Two Qubits [0.0]
We use the Cartan decomposition to characterize topological properties and their connection to quantum entanglement. Topological features are obtained systematically by a mapping to a quantum graph. An additional perspective is provided regarding the extension of this new approach to condensed matter systems.

Relative Representations: Topological and Geometric Perspectives [53.88896255693922]
Relative representations are an established approach to zero-shot model stitching. We introduce a normalization procedure in the relative transformation, resulting in invariance to non-isotropic rescalings and permutations. Second, we propose to deploy topological densification when fine-tuning relative representations, a topological regularization loss encouraging clustering within classes.

Topological phases of many-body non-Hermitian systems [0.0]
Many-body fermionic non-Hermitian systems require two sets of topological invariants to describe the topology of energy bands and quantum states respectively. We identify 10 symmetry classes -- determined by particle-hole, linearized time-reversal, and linearized chiral symmetries.

Observation of a symmetry-protected topological phase in external magnetic fields [1.4515101661933258]
We report the real-space observation of a symmetry-protected topological phase with interacting nuclear spins. We probe the interaction-induced transition between two topologically distinct phases, both of which are classified by many-body Chern numbers. Our findings enable direct characterization of topological features of quantum many-body states through gradually decreasing the strength of the introduced external fields.

Link between \emph{Zitterbewegung} and topological phase transition [6.390959580779527]
We investigate the relationship between emphZitterbewegung and the topology of systems that reflect the properties of the local and whole energy bands. By studying emphZitterbewegung dynamics before and after topological phase transition, we find that the direction of quasiparticles' oscillation can well reflect topological properties.

Bulk detection of time-dependent topological transitions in quenched chiral models [48.7576911714538]
We show that the winding number of the Hamiltonian eigenstates can be read-out by measuring the mean chiral displacement of a single-particle wavefunction. This implies that the mean chiral displacement can detect the winding number even when the underlying Hamiltonian is quenched between different topological phases.
