We show that the topological index of a wavefunction, computed in the space of twisted boundary phases, is preserved under Hilbert space truncation, provided the truncated state remains normalizable. If truncation affects the boundary condition of the resulting state, the invariant index may acquire a different physical interpretation. If the index is symmetry protected, the truncation should preserve the protecting symmetry. We discuss implications of this invariance using paradigmatic integer and fractional Chern insulators, $Z_2$ topological insulators, and Spin-$1$ AKLT and Heisenberg chains, as well as its relation with the notion of bulk entanglement. As a possible application, we propose a partial quantum tomography scheme from which the topological index of a generic multi-component wavefunction can be extracted by measuring only a small subset of wavefunction components, equivalent to the measurement of a bulk entanglement topological index.

Lattice translation symmetry gives rise to a large class of weak topological insulators (TIs), characterized by translation-protected gapless surface states and dislocation bound states. In this work we show that space group symmetries lead to constr
aints on the weak topological indices that define these phases. In particular we show that screw rotation symmetry enforces the Hall conductivity along the screw axis to be quantized in multiples of the screw rank, which generally applies to interacting systems. We further show that certain 3D weak indices associated with quantum spin Hall effects (class AII) are forbidden by the Bravais-lattice and by glide or even-fold screw symmetries. These results put a strong constraints on candidates of weak TIs in the experimental and numerical search for topological materials, based on the crystal structure alone.
We study one-dimensional spin-1/2 models in which strict confinement of Ising domain walls leads to the fragmentation of Hilbert space into exponentially many disconnected subspaces. Whereas most previous works emphasize dipole moment conservation as
an essential ingredient for such fragmentation, we instead require two commuting U(1) conserved quantities associated with the total domain-wall number and the total magnetization. The latter arises naturally from the confinement of domain walls. Remarkably, while some connected components of the Hilbert space thermalize, others are integrable by Bethe ansatz. We further demonstrate how this Hilbert-space fragmentation pattern arises perturbatively in the confining limit of $mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge theory coupled to fermionic matter, leading to a hierarchy of time scales for motion of the fermions. This model can be realized experimentally in two complementary settings.
Although most quantum systems thermalize locally on short time scales independent of initial conditions, recent developments have shown this is not always the case. Lattice geometry and quantum mechanics can conspire to produce constrained quantum dy
namics and associated glassy behavior, a phenomenon that falls outside the rubric of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. Constraints fragment the many-body Hilbert space due to which some states remain insulated from others and the system fails to attain thermal equilibrium. Such fragmentation is a hallmark of geometrically frustrated magnets with low-energy icelike manifolds exhibiting a broad range of relaxation times for different initial states. Focusing on the highly frustrated kagome lattice, we demonstrate these phenomena in the Balents-Fisher-Girvin Hamiltonian (easy-axis regime), and a three-coloring model (easy-plane regime), both with constrained Hilbert spaces. We study their level statistics and relaxation dynamics to develop a coherent picture of fragmentation in various limits of the XXZ model on the kagome lattice.
Two-dimensional topological phases are characterized by TKNN integers, which classify Bloch energy bands or groups of Bloch bands. However, quantization does not survive thermal averaging or dephasing to mixed states. We show that using Uhlmanns para
llel transport for density matrices (Rep. Math. Phys. 24, 229 (1986)), an integer classification of topological phases can be defined for a finite generalized temperature $T$ or dephasing Lindbladian. This scheme reduces to the familiar TKNN classification for $T<T_{{rm c},1}$, becomes trivial for $T>T_{{rm c},2}$, and exhibits a `gapless intermediate regime where topological indices are not well-defined. We demonstrate these ideas in detail, applying them to Haldanes honeycomb lattice model and the Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model, and we comment on their generalization to multi-band Chern insulators.
We present an alternative scheme to the widely used method of representing the basis of one-band Hubbard model through the relation $I=I_{uparrow}+2^{M}I_{downarrow}$ given by H. Q. Lin and J. E. Gubernatis [Comput. Phys. 7, 400 (1993)], where $I_{up
arrow}$, $I_{downarrow}$ and $I$ are the integer equivalents of binary representations of occupation patterns of spin up, spin down and both spin up and spin down electrons respectively, with $M$ being the number of sites. We compute and store only $I_{uparrow}$ or $I_{downarrow}$ at a time to generate the full Hamiltonian matrix. The non-diagonal part of the Hamiltonian matrix given as ${cal{I}}_{downarrow}otimes{bf{H}_{uparrow}} oplus {bf{H}_{downarrow}}otimes{cal{I}}_{uparrow}$ is generated using a bottom-up approach by computing the small matrices ${bf{H}_{uparrow}}$(spin up hopping Hamiltonian) and ${bf{H}_{downarrow}}$(spin down hopping Hamiltonian) and then forming the tensor product with respective identity matrices ${cal{I}}_{downarrow}$ and ${cal{I}}_{uparrow}$, thereby saving significant computation time and memory. We find that the total CPU time to generate the non-diagonal part of the Hamiltonian matrix using the new one spin configuration basis scheme is reduced by about an order of magnitude as compared to the two spin configuration basis scheme. The present scheme is shown to be inherently parallelizable. Its application to translationally invariant systems, computation of Greens functions and in impurity solver part of DMFT procedure is discussed and its extention to other models is also pointed out.
