Topological Order in the Projected Entangled-Pair States Formalism: Transfer Operator and Boundary Hamiltonians

Topological Order in the Projected Entangled-Pair States Formalism: Transfer Operator and Boundary Hamiltonians

We study the structure of topological phases and their boundaries in the projected entangled-pair states (PEPS) formalism. We show how topological order in a system can be identified from the structure of the PEPS transfer operator and subsequently use these findings to analyze the structure of the boundary Hamiltonian, acting …
