Exotic symmetry breaking properties of self-dual fracton spin models
Fracton codes host unconventional topological states of matter and are promising for fault-tolerant quantum computation due to their large coding space and strong resilience against decoherence and noise. In this paper, we investigate the ground-state properties and phase transitions of two prototypical self-dual fracton spin models---the tetrahedral Ising model and …
