Finite-temperature properties of fermionic topological order

Domaines
Condensed matter
Topological materials, Quantum Transport, Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

Type of internship
Théorique, numérique
Description
In this 3-months internship starting in April 2026, we will explore the physics of fermionic topological order. We will get familiar with the fermionic toric code, compute the degeneracy of its energy levels and from there obtain the partition function and study other finite-temperature properties such as entanglement entropy (or mutual information) and Wegner-Wilson loops. This will require getting familiar with mathematical concepts such as tensor categories.
