• Abstract: Quantum loop models are well studied objects in the context of lattice gauge theories and topological quantum computing. They usually carry long range entanglement that is captured by the topological entanglement entropy. I consider generalization of the toric code model to bicolor loop models and show that the long range entanglement can be reflected in three different ways: a topologically invariant constant, a sub-leading logarithmic correction to the area law, or a modified bond dimension for the area-law term. The Hamiltonians are not exactly solvable for the whole spectra, but admit a tower of area-law exact excited states corresponding to the frustration free superposition of loop configurations with arbitrary pairs of localized vertex defects. The continuity of color along loops imposes kinetic constraints on the model and results in Hilbert space fragmentation, unless plaquette operators involving two neighboring faces are introduced to the Hamiltonian.

  We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

  We consider a quantum fully packed loop model on the square lattice with a frustration-free projector Hamiltonian and ring-exchange interactions acting on plaquettes. We discuss how the boundary term fractures the Hilbert space into Krylov subspaces, and we prove that the Hamiltonian is ergodic within each subspace. We show that the spectrum is shown to be gapless in the thermodynamic limit with a trial state constructed by adding a twist to the ground state superposition.

  We consider fixed-point models for topological phases of matter formulated as discrete path integrals in the language of tensor networks. All of the established ansatzes for fixed-point models imply the existence of a gapped boundary as well as a commuting-projector Hamiltonian. We present a more general fixed-point ansatz not affected by the aforementioned restrictions.

  We build a class of frustration-free and gapped Hamiltonians based on discrete abelian gauge groups. The resulting models have a ground state degeneracy that can be either a topological invariant or an extensive quantity. We analyze excitations and identify anyon-like excitations that account for the topological entanglement entropy.

  We study topological properties of bound pairs of photons in spatially-modulated qubit arrays coupled to a waveguide. For open boundary condition, we find exotic topological bound-pair edge states with radiative losses. By joining two structures with different spatial modulations, we find long-lived interface states which may have applications in storage and quantum information processing.
