• Abstract summary: We report on a class of gapped projected entangled pair states (PEPS) with non-trivial Euler topology. In the non-interacting limit, these systems have optimal conditions relating to saturation of quantum geometrical bounds. We reveal characteristic entanglement features shared between the free-fermionc and interacting states with Euler topology.

• Abstract: We report on a class of gapped projected entangled pair states (PEPS) with non-trivial Euler topology motivated by recent progress in band geometry. In the non-interacting limit, these systems have optimal conditions relating to saturation of quantum geometrical bounds, allowing for parent Hamiltonians whose lowest bands are completely flat and which have the PEPS as unique ground states. Protected by crystalline symmetries, these states evade restrictions on capturing tenfold-way topological features with gapped PEPS. These PEPS thus form the first tensor network representative of a non-interacting, gapped two-dimensional topological phase, similar to the Kitaev chain in one dimension. Using unitary circuits, we then formulate interacting variants of these PEPS and corresponding gapped parent Hamiltonians. We reveal characteristic entanglement features shared between the free-fermionc and interacting states with Euler topology. Our results hence provide a rich platform of PEPS models that have, unexpectedly, a finite topological invariant, providing a platform for new spin liquids, quantum Hall physics, and quantum information pursuits.

• Projected Entangled Pair States with flexible geometry [0.0]
  Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS) are a class of quantum many-body states that generalize Matrix Product States for one-dimensional systems to higher dimensions. PEPS have advanced understanding of strongly correlated systems, especially in two dimensions, e.g., quantum spin liquids. We present a PEPS algorithm to simulate low-energy states and dynamics defined on arbitrary, fluctuating, and densely connected graphs.
