Topological matter physics

order in gapped quantum states that is not described by symmetry breaking and shows a ground-state degeneracy depending on the topology of space.

In topological matter physics, topological order refers to order in gapped quantum states that is not described by symmetry breaking and shows a ground-state degeneracy depending on the topology of space. This meaning comes from Wen (1990) in International Journal of Modern Physics B.[1]
