Tensor product representation of a topological ordered phase: Necessary symmetry conditions

The tensor product representation of quantum states leads to a promising variational approach to study quantum phase and quantum phase transitions, especially topological ordered phases which are impossible to handle with conventional methods due to their long-range entanglement. However, an importa...
