• Abstract summary: We demonstrate that multipartite entanglement, witnessed by the quantum Fisher information (QFI), can characterize topological quantum phase transitions in the spin-$frac12$ toric code model. Our results provide insights to topological phases, which are robust against external disturbances, and are candidates for topologically protected quantum computation.

• Abstract: We demonstrate that multipartite entanglement, witnessed by the quantum Fisher information (QFI), can characterize topological quantum phase transitions in the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ toric code model on a square lattice with external fields. We show that the QFI density of the ground state can be written in terms of the expectation values of gauge-invariant Wilson loops for different sizes of square regions and identify $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological order by its scaling behavior. Furthermore, we use this multipartite entanglement witness to investigate thermalization and disorder-assisted stabilization of topological order after a quantum quench. Moreover, with an upper bound of the QFI, we demonstrate the absence of finite-temperature topological order in the 2D toric code model in the thermodynamic limit. Our results provide insights to topological phases, which are robust against external disturbances, and are candidates for topologically protected quantum computation.

• A New Genuine Multipartite Entanglement Measure: from Qubits to Multiboundary Wormholes [0.0]
  We introduce the Latent Entropy (L-entropy) as a novel measure to characterize the genuine multipartite entanglement in quantum systems. We demonstrate that the measure functions as a multipartite pure state entanglement monotone and briefly address its extension to mixed multipartite states. In particular, we show that for $n geq 5$, random states approximate 2-uniform states with maximal multipartite entanglement.

• Topological squashed entanglement: nonlocal order parameter for one-dimensional topological superconductors [0.0]
  We show the end-to-end, long-distance, bipartite squashed entanglement between the edges of a many-body system. For the Kitaev chain in the entire topological phase, the edge squashed entanglement is quantized to log(2)/2, half the maximal Bell-state entanglement, and vanishes in the trivial phase. Such topological squashed entanglement exhibits the correct scaling at the quantum phase transition, is stable in the presence of interactions, and is robust against disorder and local perturbations.

The second-order quantum phase transition between the weakly-coupled $mathbbZtimesmathbbZ$ and the strongly-coupled $mathbbZ$ can be described by the condensation of bosonic quasiparticles from both sides.
