Ordered phases in Landau paradigm can be diagnosed by a local order parameter, whereas topologically ordered phases cannot be detected in such a way. In this paper, we propose long-range mutual information(LRMI) as a unified diagnostic for both conventional long-range order and topological order. Using the LRMI, we characterize orders in $n+1$D gapped systems as $m$-membrane condensates with $ 0 \leq m \leq n-1$. The familiar conventional order and 2+1D topological orders are respectively identified as $0$-membrane and $1$-membrane condensates. We propose and study the topological uncertainty principle, which describes the non-commuting nature of non-local order parameters in topological orders.

  1. Long-range nonstabilizerness of topologically encoded states from mutual information

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Mutual information between non-contractible regions on the torus fully classifies long-range nonstabilizerness for toric-code states but leaves a finite subset undetected in the doubled-Fibonacci string-net model.
