The split property of a pure state for a certain cut of a quantum spin system can be understood as the entanglement between the two subsystems being weak. From this point of view, we may say that if it is not possible to transform a state $$\omega$$ ω via sufficiently local automorphisms (in a sense that we will make precise) into a state satisfying the split property, then the state $$\omega$$ ω has a long-range entanglement. It is well known that in 1D, gapped ground states have the…

Classification of symmetry protected topological phases in quantum spin chains
We consider the classification problem of symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases on quantum spin systems. SPT phases are gapped short-range-entangled quantum phases with a symmetry G. We explain
Classification of gapped ground state phases in quantum spin systems
Recently, classification problems of gapped ground state phases attract a lot of attention in quantum statistical mechanics. We explain about our operator algebraic approach to these problems.

Kitaev’s Quantum Double Model from a Local Quantum Physics Point of View
A prominent example of a topologically ordered system is Kitaev’s quantum double model $$\mathcal {D}(G)$$ for finite groups G (which in particular includes $$G = \mathbb {Z}_2$$, the toric code). We
