Classifying the Quantum Phases of Matter

Abstract

This is the final report for "Classifying the Quantum Phases of Matter," FA8750-12-2-0308. Among other achievements, we made progress toward the following goals: (1) finding a classification of locally definable quantum states (those without symmetries or long - range entanglement), (2) elucidating the properties of three-dimensional quantum codes (in particular those which admit no string - like logical operators. (3) characterizing symmetry-protected fermionic phases, (4) proving the stability of topological phases of matter with respect to generic perturbation.
