We propose a family of order parameters to detect the symmetry fractionalization class of anyons in 2D topological phases. This fractionalization class accounts for the projective, as opposed to linear, representations of the symmetry group on the anyons. We focus on quantum double models on a lattice enriched with an internal symmetry in the framework of $G$-isometric projected entangled pair states. Unlike previous schemes based on reductions to effective 1D systems (dimensional…

Symmetries in topological tensor network states: classification, construction and detection
TLDR
This thesis contributes to the understanding of symmetry-enriched topological phases focusing on their descriptions in terms of tensor network states by proposing a family of gauge invariant quantities and their corresponding order parameters to detect the corresponding quantum phases, in particular their symmetry fractionalization patterns.
Many-body topological invariants from randomized measurements in synthetic quantum matter
TLDR
A universal toolbox of measurement protocols is proposed to reveal many-body topological invariants of phases with global symmetries, which can be implemented in state-of-the-art experiments with synthetic quantum systems, such as Rydberg atoms, trapped ions, and superconducting circuits.
Many-Body Chern Number from Statistical Correlations of Randomized Measurements.
TLDR
This work uses the statistical correlations of randomized measurements to infer the many-body Chern number of a wave function, and its results apply to disklike geometries that are more amenable to current quantum simulator architectures.

Order parameter for symmetry-protected phases in one dimension.

An order parameter for symmetry-protected phases in one dimension which allows us to directly identify those phases and it is found that the order parameter not only works very well for the dimerized and the Haldane phase, but it also returns a distinct signature for gapless phases.
