Condensation of achiral simple currents in topological lattice models: Hamiltonian study of topological symmetry breaking
We describe a family of phase transitions connecting phases of differing nontrivial topological order by explicitly constructing Hamiltonians of the Levin-Wen type which can be tuned between two solvable points, each of which realizes a different topologically ordered phase. We show that the low-ene...
