21. It is a difficult task to evaluate the ground state fidelity per site if a quantum lattice system is not exactly solvable. However, thanks to the latest advances in classical simulations of quantum lattice systems (Refs.), a practical way to compute it is now available using the tensor network algorithms for translationally invariant infinite-size quantum lattice systems (Ref.).

23. Another fidelity approach to QPTs is based on the fidelity between two neighboring states, see P. Zanardi and N. Paunković, Phys. Rev. E 74, 031123 (2006) 10.1103/PhysRevE.74.031123

48. This amounts to the statement that the fidelity per lattice site does not depend on which state has been chosen among degenerate states in the ground state subspace for a system with topological order. This has been shown for different states of the toric code (Ref.). That is, the tensor network representation for different states shares the same tensors except for their top tensor, where the relevant topological information is stored. Such a difference does not contribute to the fidelity per lattice site.
49. For generic Jx, Jy, and Jz, we have k1 =1/ (8 π2 Jx Jy).
