Anisotropic \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) Laplacian model code[1,2]

Description

A graph-based analogue of a Type-I fracton phase with lineon-like restricted mobility [1,2].

On generic sparse graphs, the Laplacian seed is not rank deficient enough to generate fracton order [3]. Instead, the model exhibits partially confined point-like excitations in a phase more akin to nonlocal topological order.

Cousins

  • Repetition code— The anisotropic \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) Laplacian model is the hypergraph product of a cyclic repetition code and a Laplacian code [3].
  • Laplacian code— The anisotropic \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) Laplacian model is the hypergraph product of a cyclic repetition code and a Laplacian code [3].
