• Abstract summary: We calculate the topological entropy suggested by Kitaev and Preskill for these states together with a new entropy based on a reduced density matrix. Our results show that the topological entropy is a constant independent of the parameters that characterize a topological state. We show how the reduced density matrix associated with both entropies are constructed from the pure state using positive maps and explicitly obtaining the Krauss operators.

• Abstract: Nanowires of BiSe show topological states localized near the surface of the material. The topological nature of these states can be analyzed using well-known quantities. In this paper, we calculate the topological entropy suggested by Kitaev and Preskill for these states together with a new entropy based on a reduced density matrix that we propose as a measure to distinguish topological one-electron states. Our results show that the topological entropy is a constant independent of the parameters that characterize a topological state as its angular momentum, longitudinal wave vector, and radius of the nanowire. The new entropy is always larger for topological states than for normal ones, allowing the identification of the topological ones. We show how the reduced density matrices associated with both entropies are constructed from the pure state using positive maps and explicitly obtaining the Krauss operators.

  We investigate a generalization of topological order from closed systems to open systems, for which the steady states take the place of ground states. We construct typical lattice models with steady-state topological order, and characterize them by complementary approaches based on topological degeneracy of steady states, topological entropy, and dissipative gauge theory.

  We introduce a family of neural quantum states for the simulation of strongly interacting systems in the presence of periodicity. For one-dimensional systems we find very precise estimations of the ground-state energies and the radial distribution functions of the particles. In two dimensions we obtain good estimations of the ground-state energies, comparable to results obtained from more conventional methods.

  We study the structure of entanglement entropy using persistent homology. The inverse quantum mutual information between pairs of sites is used as a distance metric to form a filtered simplicial complex. We also discuss the promising future applications of this modern computational approach, including its connection to the question of how spacetime could emerge from entanglement.

  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.

• Probing chiral edge dynamics and bulk topology of a synthetic Hall system [52.77024349608834]
  Quantum Hall systems are characterized by the quantization of the Hall conductance -- a bulk property rooted in the topological structure of the underlying quantum states. Here, we realize a quantum Hall system using ultracold dysprosium atoms, in a two-dimensional geometry formed by one spatial dimension. We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
