• Abstract: Laughlin states have recently been constructed on fractal lattices and have been shown to be topological in such systems. Some of their properties are, however, quite different from the two-dimensional case. On the Sierpinski triangle, for instance, the entanglement entropy shows oscillations as a function of particle number and does not obey the area law despite being topologically ordered, and the particle density is non-uniform in the bulk. Here, we investigate these deviant properties in greater detail on the Sierpinski triangle, and we also study the properties on the Sierpinski carpet and the T-fractal. We find that the density variations across the fractal are present for all the considered fractal lattices and for most choices of the number of particles. The size of anyons inserted into the lattice Laughlin state also varies with position on the fractal lattice. We observe that quasiholes and quasiparticles have similar sizes and that the size of the anyons typically increases with decreasing Hausdorff dimension. As opposed to periodic lattices in two dimensions, the Sierpinski triangle and carpet have inner edges. We construct trial states for both inner and outer edge states. We find that oscillations of the entropy as a function of particle number are present for the T-fractal, but not for the Sierpinski carpet. Finally, we observe deviations from the area law for several different bipartitions on the Sierpinski triangle.

• Haldane model on the Sierpiński gasket [0.0]
  We investigate the topological phases of the Haldane model on the Sierpi'nski gasket. As a consequence of the fractal geometry, multiple fractal gaps arise. A flat band appears, and due to a complex next-nearest neighbour hopping, this band splits and multiple topological flux-induced gaps emerge.

• Fractals and spontaneous symmetry breaking with type-B Goldstone modes: a perspective from entanglement [0.0]
  The one-dimensional spin-$s$ $rm SU(2)$ ferromagnetic Heisenberg model, as a paradigmatic example for spontaneous symmetry breaking ( SSB) with type-B Goldstone modes (GMs), is expected to exhibit an abstract fractal underlying the ground state subspace. This intrinsic abstract fractal is here revealed from a systematic investigation into the entanglement entropy for a linear combination of factorized (unentangled) ground states on a fractal decomposable into a set of the Cantor sets. Our argument may be extended to any quantum many-body systems undergoing SSB with type-B GM

• Hilbert space fragmentation from lattice geometry [0.0]
  We show that Hilbert space fragmentation may arise from lattice geometry in a spin-1/2 model that conserves the number of domain walls. We also show that the model displays signatures similar to Hilbert space fragmentation on a section of the second-generation hexaflake fractal lattice and a modified two-dimensional lattice.

• Entanglement Fractalization [9.254741613227333]
  We numerically explore the interplay of fractal geometry and quantum entanglement by analyzing entanglement entropy and the entanglement contour in the scaling limit. For gapless ground states exhibiting a finite density of states at the chemical potential, we reveal a super-area law. A novel self-similar and universal pattern termed an entanglement fractal'' in the entanglement contour data as we approach the scaling limit bears resemblance to intricate Chinese paper-cutting designs.

• Laughlin topology on fractal lattices without area law entanglement [0.0]
  We investigate density, correlation, and entanglement properties of the states on a fractal lattice derived from a Sierpinski triangle. We find that the connected particle-particle correlation function decays roughly exponentially with the distance between the lattice sites measured in the two-dimensional plane. We find that the number of states below the entanglement gap is robust and the same as for Laughlin states on two-dimensional lattices.
