Classification of quantum phases and topology of logical operators in an exactly solved model of quantum codes (Q624836)

The quantum world is a new and very interesting field of research. The article in discussion covers an important topic: frustration-free Hamiltonians, proposing a model of frustration-free Hamiltonians which covers a large class of physically realistic stabilizer Hamiltonians, constrained to three physical conditions; the locality of interaction terms, translation symmetries and scale symmetries, showing that quantum phases arising in two-dimensional models can be classified exactly through certain quantum coding theoretical operators. The content has a balanced between theory and practice ensuring an easy understanding of the model, discussing every aspect in depth with great detail. The author offers a new perspective to the problem that could result in finding new quantum phases and classifications of quantum phases.
