Thesis
Three studies on quantum phases of matter
- Abstract:
-
This is a thesis in three parts regarding the study of quantum phases of matter.
In the first part, we show that the gapless boundary signatures — namely, chiral/helical hinge modes or localized zero modes — of three-dimensional higherorder topological insulators and superconductors with inversion symmetry can be gapped without symmetry breaking upon the introduction of non-Abelian surface topological order. In each case, the fractionalization pattern that appears on the surface ...
