• Abstract: We investigate the physics of one-dimensional symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases protected by symmetries whose symmetry generators exhibit spatial modulation. We focus in particular on phases protected by symmetries with linear (i.e., dipolar), quadratic and exponential modulations. We present a simple recipe for constructing modulated SPT models by generalizing the concept of decorated domain walls to spatially modulated symmetry defects, and develop several tools for characterizing and classifying modulated SPT phases. A salient feature of modulated symmetries is that they are generically only present for open chains, and are broken upon the imposition of periodic boundary conditions. Nevertheless, we show that SPT order is present even with periodic boundary conditions, a phenomenon we understand within the context of an object we dub a ``bundle symmetry''. In addition, we show that modulated SPT phases can avoid a certain no-go theorem, leading to an unusual algebraic structure in their matrix product state descriptions.

  We investigate the impact of weight space permutation symmetries on variational inference. We devise a symmetric symmetrization mechanism for constructing permutation invariant variational posteriors. We show that the symmetrized distribution has a strictly better fit to the true posterior, and that it can be trained using the original ELBO objective.

  We study the role of 1-form symmetries in Projected Entangled-Pair States (PEPS) Our results reveal that 1-form symmetries impose stringent constraints on tensor network representations, leading to distinct anomalous braiding phases carried by symmetry matrices. We demonstrate how these symmetries influence the ground state and tangent space in PEPS, providing new insights into their physical implications.

  We study perturbations that break the integrability and/or the symmetry of the model, as well as modifications in the measurement protocol, characterizing the resulting chaos and lack of integrability through the Dissipative Spectral Form Factor (DSFF) We show that while the measurement-induced phase transition and its properties appear broadly insensitive to lack of integrability and breaking of the $bbZ$ symmetry, a modification of the measurement basis from the transverse to the longitudinal direction makes the phase transition disappear altogether.

  Inherent symmetry of a quantum system may protect its otherwise fragile states. We implement the one-dimensional kicked Ising model which exhibits non-local Majorana edge modes (MEMs) with $mathbbZ$ parity symmetry. MEMs are found to be resilient against certain symmetry-breaking noise owing to a prethermalization mechanism.
