- Abstract: We define and classify symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases in mixed states based on the tensor network formulation of the density matrix. In one dimension, we introduce strong injective matrix product density operators (MPDO), which describe a broad class of short-range correlated mixed states, including the locally decohered SPT states. We map strong injective MPDO to a pure state in the doubled Hilbert space and define the SPT phases according to the cohomology class of the symmetry group in the doubled state. Although the doubled state exhibits an enlarged symmetry, the possible SPT phases are also constrained by the Hermiticity and the semi-positivity of the density matrix. We here obtain a complete classification of SPT phases with a direct product of strong $G$ and weak $K$ unitary symmetry given by the cohomology group $H^2(G, \text{U}(1))\oplus H^1(K, H^1(G, \text{U}(1)))$. The SPT phases in our definition are preserved under symmetric local circuits consisting of non-degenerate channels. This motivates an alternative definition of SPT phases according to the equivalence class of mixed states under a ``one-way" connection using symmetric non-degenerate channels. In locally purifiable MPDO with strong symmetry, we prove that this alternative definition reproduces the cohomology classification. We further extend our results to two-dimensional mixed states described by strong semi-injective tensor network density operators and classify the possible SPT phases.

We introduce HOCA to quantum many-body physics and construct a series of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases of matter.
We show that HOCA can generate not only well-understood SPTs with symmetries supported on either regular (e.g., line-like subsystems in the 2D cluster model) or fractal subsystems, but also a large class of unexplored SPTs with symmetries supported on more choices of subsystems.

The mobility edge, as a central concept in disordered models for localization-delocalization transitions, has rarely been discussed in the context of random matrix theory.
We show that their overlapped spectra and un-overlapped spectra exhibit totally different scaling behaviors, which can be used to construct tunable mobility edges.
Our model provides a general framework to realize the mobility edges and non-ergodic phases in a controllable way in RMT.
