- Abstract: Motivated by the exotic phenomenology of certain quantum materials and recent
advances in programmable quantum emulators, we here study fermions and bosons
in $\mathbb Z_N$ lattice gauge theories. We introduce a family of exactly
soluble models, and characterize their orthogonal (semi-)metallic ground
states, the excitation spectrum, and the correlation functions. We further
study integrability breaking perturbations using an appropriately derived set
of Feynman diagrammatic rules and borrowing physics associated to Anderson's
orthogonality catastrophe. In the context of the ground states, we revisit
Luttinger's theorem following Oshikawa's flux insertion argument and
furthermore demonstrate the existence of a Luttinger surface of zeros in the
fermionic Green's function. Upon inclusion of perturbations, we address the
transition from the orthogonal metal to the normal state by condensation of
certain excitations in the gauge sectors, so-called ``$e$-particles''. We
furthermore discuss the effect of dynamics in the dual ``$m$-particle''
excitations, which ultimately leads to the formation of charge-neutral hadronic
$N$-particle bound states. We present analytical arguments for the most
important phases and estimates for phase boundaries of the model. Specifically,
and in sharp distinction to quasi-1D $\mathbb Z_N$ lattice gauge theories,
renormalization group arguments imply that the phase diagram does not include
an emergent deconfining $U(1)$ phase. Therefore, in regards to lattice QED
problems, $\mathbb Z_N$ quantum emulators with $N<\infty$ can at best be used
for approximate solutions at intermediate length scales.

A wave function exposed to measurements undergoes pure state dynamics.
For many-particle systems, the competition of these different elements of dynamics can give rise to a scenario similar to quantum phase transitions.
A key finding is that this field theory decouples into one set of degrees of freedom that heats up indefinitely.
