Multipartite entanglement of the topologically ordered state in a perturbed toric code

We demonstrate that multipartite entanglement, witnessed by the quantum Fisher information, can characterize topological quantum phase transitions in the spin-1/2 toric code model (TCM) on a square lattice with external fields. We show that the quantum Fisher information density of the ground state...
