We describe how to construct generalized string-net models, a class of exactly solvable lattice models that realize large family 2D topologically ordered phases matter. The ground states these can be thought as superpositions different "string-net configurations", where each configuration is trivalent graph with labeled edges, drawn in the $xy$ plane. What makes this construction more general t...

For safety and well-being of conference participants, the IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference Exposition (APEC) was held virtually from 14-17 June, 2021, on virtual event platform Social27, with demand access starting week 7 June. The on-demand recordings include technical session lectures dialogues (poster sessions), industry sessions, professional education seminars. It a mixture live, ...

We present a detailed analytical and numerical study of nonequilibrium dynamics for the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. In particular, we characterize evolution morphologies using spiral defects. This paper is the first in a two-stage exposition. Here, we present analytical results for the correlation function arising from a single-spiral morphology. We also critically examine the utility of ...
