Abstract: One of the most striking features of quantum phases that exhibit topological order is the presence of long range entanglement that cannot be detected by any local order parameter. The formalism of projected entangled-pair states is a natural framework for the parameterization of the corresponding ground state wavefunctions, in which the full wavefunction is encoded in terms of local tensors. Topological order is reflected in the symmetries of these tensors, and we give a characterization of those symmetries in terms of matrix product operators acting on the virtual level. This leads to a set of algebraic rules characterizing states with topological quantum order. The corresponding matrix product operators fully encode all topological features of the theory, and provide a systematic way of constructing topological states. We generalize the conditions of and twisted injectivity to the matrix product operator case, and provide a complete picture of the ground state manifold on the torus. As an example, we show how all string-net models of Levin and Wen fit within this formalism, and in doing so provide a particularly intuitive interpretation of the pentagon equation for F-symbols as the pulling of certain matrix product operators through the string-net tensor network. Our approach paves the way to finding novel topological phases beyond string-nets, and elucidates the description of topological phases in terms of entanglement Hamiltonians and edge theories.
