• Abstract: As new kinds of stabilizer code models, fracton models have been promising in realizing quantum memory or quantum hard drives. However, it has been shown that the fracton topological order of 3D fracton models occurs only at zero temperature. In this Letter, we show that higher dimensional fracton models can support a fracton topological order below a nonzero critical temperature $T_c$. Focusing on a typical 4D X-cube model, we show that there is a finite critical temperature $T_c$ by analyzing its free energy from duality. We also obtained the expectation value of the 't Hooft loops in the 4D X-cube model, which directly shows a confinement-deconfinement phase transition at finite temperature. This finite-temperature phase transition can be understood as spontaneously breaking the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ one-form subsystem symmetry. Moreover, we propose a new no-go theorem for finite-temperature quantum fracton topological order.

  We explore a model of free fermions in one dimension subject to frustrated local measurements across adjacent sites. For maximal misalignment, superdiffusive behavior emerges from the vanishing of the measurement-induced quasiparticle decay rate. Our findings show how intricate fractal-scaling entanglement can be produced for local Hamiltonians.

  We introduce the class of planon-modular (p-modular) fracton orders. The defining property is that any non-trivial point-like excitation can be detected by braiding with planons. We show that each of these models is p-modular and compute its phase invariants.

  Superradiant phase transition (SRPT) is prohibited in the paradigmatic quantum Rabi model. We show two distinct types of SRPTs emerging from the normal phase in the anisotropic quantum Rabi model. Work may open a new avenue for observing SRPTs in their intrinsic form without altering the $mathbfA$-square term.
