• Abstract: In the presence of crystalline symmetry, topologically ordered states can acquire a host of symmetry-protected invariants. These determine the patterns of crystalline symmetry fractionalization of the anyons in addition to fractionally quantized responses to lattice defects. Here we show how ground state expectation values of partial rotations centered at high symmetry points can be used to extract crystalline invariants. Using methods from conformal field theory and G-crossed braided tensor categories, we develop a theory of invariants obtained from partial rotations, which apply to both Abelian and non-Abelian topological orders. We then perform numerical Monte Carlo calculations for projected parton wave functions of fractional Chern insulators, demonstrating remarkable agreement between theory and numerics. For the topological orders we consider, we show that the Hall conductivity, filling fraction, and partial rotation invariants fully characterize the crystalline invariants of the system. Our results also yield invariants of continuum fractional quantum Hall states protected by spatial rotational symmetry.

  Identifying symmetries in quantum dynamics is a crucial challenge with profound implications for quantum technologies. We introduce a unified framework combining group representation theory and subgroup hypothesis testing to predict these symmetries with optimal efficiency. We prove that parallel strategies achieve the same performance as adaptive or indefinite-causal-order protocols.

We illustrate the characteristics of the topologically protected states in a non-Hermitian two-band model.

  We introduce a framework for symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy with a non-abelian symmetry group. We derive exact formulas for the average and the variance of the typical entanglement entropy for an ensemble of random pure states with fixed non-abelian charges. We show that, compared to the abelian case, new phenomena arise from the interplay of locality and non-abelian symmetry.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

  We develop a theory of symmetry-protected quantized invariants for topological phases defined on a lattice. We show how discrete rotational and translational symmetry fractionalization can be characterized by a discrete spin vector. The fractionally quantized charge polarization, which is non-trivial only on a lattice with $2$, $3$, and $4$-fold rotation symmetry, implies a fractional charge bound to lattice dislocations.

• Bulk detection of time-dependent topological transitions in quenched chiral models [48.7576911714538]
  We show that the winding number of the Hamiltonian eigenstates can be read-out by measuring the mean chiral displacement of a single-particle wavefunction. This implies that the mean chiral displacement can detect the winding number even when the underlying Hamiltonian is quenched between different topological phases.
