Abstract The large practical potential of exotic quantum states is often precluded by their notorious fragility against external perturbations or temperature. Here. we introduce a mechanism stabilizing a one-dimensional quantum many-body phase exploiting an emergent $${{\mathbb{Z}}}_{2}$$ Z 2 -symmetry based on a simple geometrical modification. i. https://www.roneverhart.com/Med-Mizer-AllCare-Scale-Fits-all-Med-Mizer-AllCare-Beds/
