Universality of Critical Dynamics with Finite Entanglement

N. E. Sherman, A. Avdoshkin, and J. E. Moore

Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 106501 (2023) - Published 6 September, 2023

Failure of Topological Invariants in Strongly Correlated Matter

Jinchao Zhao, Peizhi Mai, Barry Bradlyn, and Philip Phillips

Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 106601 (2023) - Published 7 September, 2023

When zeros appear in the Green’s function, as in strongly correlated systems, the invariant $N_{3}$ for the two-dimensional quantum anomalous Hall insulator does not necessarily encode a topological invariant of the ground state, in contrast to expectations.
