• Abstract summary: We study a 3D classical Ising model that is exactly solvable when some coupling constants take certain imaginary values. We show that a related exactly solvable 3D classical statistical model with real coupling constants also shows the topological features of one of these phases.

• Abstract: We study a three-dimensional (3D) classical Ising model that is exactly solvable when some coupling constants take certain imaginary values. The solution combines and generalizes the Onsager-Kaufman solution of the 2D Ising model and the solution of Kitaev's honeycomb model, leading to a three-parameter phase diagram with a third order phase transition between two distinct phases. Interestingly, the phases of this model are distinguished by topological features: the expectation value of a certain family of loop observables depend only on the topology of the loop (whether the loop is contractible), and are quantized at rational values that differ in the two phases. We show that a related exactly solvable 3D classical statistical model with real coupling constants also shows the topological features of one of these phases. Furthermore, even in the model with complex parameters, the partition function has some physical relevance, as it can be interpreted as the transition amplitude of a quantum dynamical process and may shed light on dynamical quantum phase transitions.

  We compute the geometric phases acquired in both unitary and dissipative Jaynes-Cummings models. In the dissipative model, the non-unitary effects arise from the outflow of photons through the cavity walls. We show the geometric phase is robust, exhibiting a vanishing correction under a non-unitary evolution.

  Two-dimensional quantum Rokhsar-Kivelson (RK) type models can be mapped into the partition functions of two-dimensional statistical models. We introduce the universality of the thermofield double (TFD) state, which is a purification of the equilibrium density operator. By expressing the TFD state in terms of the projected entangled pair state, its $N$-order of R'enyi entropy results in a three-dimensional statistical model in Euclidian spacetime.
