Topological Order and Long-range Entanglement -- Can Elementary Particles Emerge from Qubits?
Long-range entangled qubits (or quantum spins) from new states of matter whose low energy effective theory realize topological quantum field theories. Those topologically ordered states of purely bosonic qubits can produce emergent gauge theory and Fermi statistics in a unified way. They also lead to new way to understand gauge and gravitational anomalies. The new understanding lead to a non-perturbative lattice definition of U(1) x SU(2) x SU(3) standard model, solving a long standing problem.
