dc.description.abstract | The physics that emerges when large numbers of particles interact can be complex and exotic. The collective behaviour may not re ect the underlying constituents, for example fermionic quasiparticles can emerge from models of interacting bosons. Due to this emergent complexity, manybody phenomena can be very challenging to study, but also very useful. A theoretical understanding of such systems is important for robust quantum information storage and processing. The emergent, macroscopic physics can be classi ed using the idea of a quantum phase. All models within a given phase exhibit similar low-energy emergent physics, which is distinct from that displayed by models in di erent phases. In this thesis, we utilise tensor networks to study many-body systems in a range of quantum phases. These include topologically ordered phases, gapless symmetry-protected phases, and symmetry-enriched topological phases. | en_AU |
