This research establishes that the modular commutator remains a robust probe for topological order even when systems only approximately satisfy strict information-flow rules, provided conditional mutual information stays above a specific threshold. By quantifying limits on necessary entanglement and proving asymptotic invariance under realistic conditions, the study resolves inconsistencies between idealized theories and actual physical materials. This advancement enables more reliable measurement of complex quantum phases without requiring perfect adherence to theoretical assumptions about local information sharing.

Robust Probe Links Deformation Invariance to Minimal Mutual Information

Quantum ZeitgeistOctober 6, 20264 min read

Previously, detecting topological order relied upon strictly enforcing conditions governing how quantum information flows. Now, calculations reveal this invariance persists even when these rules are only approximately obeyed, provided conditional mutual information between entangled regions does not fall below a quantifiable threshold. This extends existing theorems and broadens application to systems previously considered too disordered for reliable measurement.

The modular commutator, a set of tools for probing chiral central charge in gapped quantum states, remains stable even if a system doesn’t fully adhere to previously assumed rules about local information sharing. The method accurately identifies different states of matter even when systems don’t perfectly meet strict theoretical requirements concerning the distribution of information within a material. This finding resolves inconsistencies between established theories and real-world physical materials and broadens…
