Local characterization of one-dimensional topologically ordered states

We consider one-dimensional Hamiltonian systems whose ground states display symmetry-protected topological order. We show that ground states within the topological phase cannot be connected with each other through local operations and classical communication between a bipartition of the system. Our...
