Mixed-state topology in non-Hermitian systems is characterized via the Uhlmann connection, yielding a thermal Uhlmann-Chern number that differs from pure-state topology and extends to higher-dimensional Abelian and non-Abelian cases.

Strong symmetries in open quantum systems always break spontaneously to weak symmetry or completely, producing gapless Goldstone modes, charge diffusion, and time crystalline order in some cases.
Decohered non-Abelian Kitaev quantum double states exhibit strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking of non-invertible higher-form symmetries and form an information convex set whose dimension equals the pure-state ground-state degeneracy.

Strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking of higher-form non-invertible symmetries in Kitaev's quantum double model
Decohered non-Abelian Kitaev quantum double states exhibit strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking of non-invertible higher-form symmetries and form an information convex set whose dimension equals the pure-state ground-state degeneracy.
