Fracton phases constitute a new class of quantum state of matter. They are characterized by excitations that exhibit restricted mobility, being either immobile under local Hamiltonian …
We introduce new classes of hydrodynamic theories inspired by the recently discovered fracton phases of quantum matter. Fracton phases are characterized by elementary …
Motivated by recent studies of fractons, we demonstrate that elasticity theory of a two- dimensional quantum crystal is dual to a fracton tensor gauge theory, providing a concrete …
It has recently been shown that there exists a class of stable gapless spin liquids in 3+ 1 dimensions described by higher-rank tensor U (1) gauge fields, giving rise to an emergent …
In this work, we introduce a new type of topological order that is protected by subsystem symmetries that act on lower-dimensional subsets of lattice many-body system, eg, along …
We study the spreading of initially local operators under unitary time evolution in a one- dimensional random quantum circuit model that is constrained to conserve a U (1) charge …
A powerful mechanism for constructing gauge theories is to start from a theory with a global symmetry, then apply the “gauge principle,” which demands that this symmetry hold locally …
Finite-depth quantum circuits preserve the long-range entanglement structure in quantum states and map between states within a gapped phase. To map between states of different …
Spin liquids are conventionally described by gauge theories with a vector gauge field. However, there exists a wider class of spin liquids with higher rank tensors as the gauge …
