Engineering topological models with a general-purpose symmetry-to-Hamiltonian approach

Symmetry is at the heart of modern physics. Phases of matter are classified by symmetry breaking, topological phases are characterized by nonlocal symmetries, and point group symmetries are critical to our understanding of crystalline materials. Symmetries could then be used as a criterion to engine...
