Fracton phases of matter

M Pretko, X Chen, Y You - International Journal of Modern Physics …, 2020 - World Scientific
Fractons are a new type of quasiparticle which are immobile in isolation, but can often move
by forming bound states. Fractons are found in a variety of physical settings, such as spin …

Fractons

RM Nandkishore, M Hermele - Annual Review of Condensed …, 2019 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Snowmass white paper: Generalized symmetries in quantum field theory and beyond

C Cordova, TT Dumitrescu, K Intriligator… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Symmetry plays a central role in quantum field theory. Recent developments include
symmetries that act on defects and other subsystems, and symmetries that are categorical …

Global dipole symmetry, compact Lifshitz theory, tensor gauge theory, and fractons

P Gorantla, HT Lam, N Seiberg, SH Shao - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We study field theories with global dipole symmetries and gauge dipole symmetries. The
famous Lifshitz theory is an example of a theory with a global dipole symmetry. We study in …

Fracton hydrodynamics

A Gromov, A Lucas, RM Nandkishore - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
We introduce new classes of hydrodynamic theories inspired by the recently discovered
fracton phases of quantum matter. Fracton phases are characterized by elementary …

Dipolar bose-hubbard model

E Lake, M Hermele, T Senthil - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We study a simple model of interacting bosons on ad-dimensional cubic lattice whose
dynamics conserves both total boson number and total boson dipole moment. This model …

Localization in fractonic random circuits

S Pai, M Pretko, RM Nandkishore - Physical Review X, 2019 - APS
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 …

The fracton gauge principle

M Pretko - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
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 …

Dipole condensates in tilted Bose-Hubbard chains

E Lake, HY Lee, JH Han, T Senthil - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We study the quantum phase diagram of a Bose-Hubbard chain whose dynamics conserves
both a boson number and boson dipole moment, a situation which can arise in strongly tilted …

Foliated fracton order from gauging subsystem symmetries

W Shirley, K Slagle, X Chen - SciPost Physics, 2019 - scipost.org
Based on several previous examples, we summarize explicitly the general procedure to
gauge models with subsystem symmetries, which are symmetries with generators that have …
