Abstract
We study invertible states of 1D bosonic quantum lattice systems. We show that every invertible 1D state is in a trivial phase: after tensoring with some unentangled ancillas, it can be disentangled by a fuzzy analog of a finite-depth quantum circuit. If an invertible state has symmetries, it may be impossible to disentangle it in a way that preserves the symmetries, even after adding unentagled ancillas. We show that in the case of a finite unitary symmetry G, the only obstruction is an index valued in degree-2 cohomology of G. We show that two invertible G-invariant states are in the same phase if and only if their indices coincide.
