Mixed State Topological Order: Operator Algebraic Approach

摘要

We study the classification problem of mixed states in two-dimensional quantum spin systems in the operator algebraic framework of quantum statistical mechanics. We associate a braided \(C^*\) C -tensor category to each state satisfying a mixed-state version of the approximate Haag duality. We study how this category behaves under decoherence: suppose the state is acted by a finite depth quantum channel. We prove that the braided \(C^*\) C -tensor category of the final state is a braided \(C^*\) C -tensor subcategory of the initial state.
