In this talk, I will show the emergence of p+ip topological superconducting ground state in infinite-U Hubbard model on honeycomb lattice, from both state-of-art Grassmann tensor-network numerical approach and quantum field theory approach.

Symmetry protected topological (SPT) states are generalizations of topological band insulators to interacting systems. They possess a gapped bulk spectrum together with symmetry protected edge states, with no topological order. There has been recently an intense effort to classify SPT states both in terms of group cohomology as well as from the point of view of effective field theories. An interesting related question is to understand the structute of lattice models that realize SPT physics. In this talk, I shall present a class of lattice models describing the egde of non-chiral two-dimensional bosonic SPT states protected by Z_N symmetry. A crucial aspect of the construction relies on finding the correct non-trivial Z_N symmetry realizations on the edge consistent with all the possible classes of SPT states. Then I shall discuss the Aharonov-Bohm effect on the many-body SPT state by studying this many-body effect on the aforementioned gapless edge states. The effect of a Z_N gauge flux on the egde states is formulated in terms of twisted boundary conditions of the lattice models. The low energy spectral shifts due to the gauge flux are shown to depend on each of the SPT classes in a predictable way. I shall, in the course of this talk, present numerical results of exact diagonalization of our lattice Hamiltonians that support this analysis. This work is done in collaboration with Juven Wang and
appears in arXiv:1310.8291.

As realized for the first time in 1980s, quantum many-body systems in reduced spatial dimensions can sometimes undergo a special type of ordering which does not break any symmetry but introduces long-range entanglement and emergent excitations that have radically different properties from their original constituents. Most of our experimental knowledge of such ``topological" phases of matter comes from studies of two-dimensional electron gases in GaAs semiconductors in high magnetic fields and at low temperatures. In the first part of this talk, I will give an introduction to these systems and review some latest theoretical developments related to their entanglement properties. In the second part, I will discuss new possibilities
for experimental realizations of topological phases in bilayer graphene. I will present evidence that this material supports an ``even-denominator" fractional state, related to the Moore-Read state, whose observation has recently been reported. Finally, I will outline several proposals based on the tunability of the electron-electron interactions in bilayer graphene which might enable further experimental progress beyond GaAs.

Quantum Physics

Quantum many-body problems are notorious hard. This is partly because the Hilbert space becomes exponentially big with the particle number N. While exact solutions are often considered intractable, numerous approaches have been proposed using approximations. A common trait of these approaches is to use an ansatz such that the number of parameters either does not depend on N or is proportional to N, e.g., the matrix-product state for spin lattices, the BCS wave function for superconductivity, the Laughlin wave function for fractional quantum Hall effects, and the Gross-Pitaecskii theory for BECs. Among them the product ansatz for BECs has precisely predicted many useful properties of Bose gases at ultra-low temperature. As particle-particle correlation becomes important, however, it begins to fail. To capture the quantum correlations, we propose a new
set of states, which constitute a natural generalization of the product-state ansatz. Our state of N=d& times;n identical particles is derived by symmetrizing the n-fold product of a d-particle quantum state. For fixed d, the parameter space of our state does not grow with N. Numerically, we show that our ansatz gives the right description for the ground state and time evolution of the two-site Bose-Hubbard model.
