Abstract
We study state-sum constructions of G-equivariant spin topological quantum field theory (TQFTs) and their relationship to matrix product states. In the Neveu-Schwarz, Ramond, and twisted sectors, states of the TQFT are generalized matrix product states. Our results are applied to the classification of fermionic short-range-entangled phases with a unitary symmetry G to determine the group law on the set of such phases. Interesting subtleties appear when the total symmetry group is a nontrivial extension of G by fermion parity.
