Quantum criticality of loops with topologically constrained dynamics
Quantum fluctuating loops in 2+1 dimensions give gapless many-body states that are beyond current field theory techniques. Microscopically, these loops can be domain walls between up and down spins or chains of flipped spins similar to those in the toric code. The key feature of their dynamics is th...
