Topological Phases Protected by Point Group Symmetry

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Not much is known about the role that geometric symmetries play in exotic states of quantum matter known as symmetry-protected topological phases. A new approach is developed to classify and understand these phases, which are shown to be comprised of simpler, lower-dimensional states.
