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 …
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 …
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 …
We introduce new classes of hydrodynamic theories inspired by the recently discovered fracton phases of quantum matter. Fracton phases are characterized by elementary …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Based on several previous examples, we summarize explicitly the general procedure to gauge models with subsystem symmetries, which are symmetries with generators that have …
