Topological phase transition in a symmetric blockade structure

We present a numerical study of a blockade Hamiltonian with a local $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. For such models, the existence of a topologically ordered ground state has been proven rigorously for weak Rabi driving [T. F. Maier et al., PRX Quantum 6, 030340 (2025)]. However, the phase diagram beyond weak driving is still...
