Area laws and efficient descriptions of quantum many-body states

Yimin Ge, Jens Eisert

It is commonly believed that area laws for entanglement entropies imply that a quantum many-body state can be faithfully represented by efficient tensor network states - a conjectu…

The resource theory of steering

Rodrigo Gallego, Leandro Aolita

We present an operational framework for Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering as a physical resource. To begin with, we characterize the set of steering non-increasing operations (SNIOs…

Protected gates for topological quantum field theories

Michael E. Beverland, Oliver Buerschaper, Robert Koenig +3

We study restrictions on locality-preserving unitary logical gates for topological quantum codes in two spatial dimensions. A locality-preserving operation is one which maps local…

Many-body localisation implies that eigenvectors are matrix-product states

M. Friesdorf, A. H. Werner, W. Brown +2

The phenomenon of many-body localisation received a lot of attention recently, both for its implications in condensed-matter physics of allowing systems to be an insulator even at…

Quantum many-body systems out of equilibrium

J. Eisert, M. Friesdorf, C. Gogolin

Closed quantum many-body systems out of equilibrium pose several long-standing problems in physics. Recent years have seen a tremendous progress in approaching these questions, not…

Reliable quantum certification for photonic quantum technologies

L. Aolita, C. Gogolin, M. Kliesch +1

A major roadblock for large-scale photonic quantum technologies is the lack of practical reliable certification tools. We introduce an experimentally friendly - yet mathematically…

Order 3 Symmetry in the Clifford Hierarchy

Ingemar Bengtsson, Kate Blanchfield, Earl Campbell +1

We investigate the action of the first three levels of the Clifford hierarchy on sets of mutually unbiased bases comprising the Ivanovic MUB and the Alltop MUBs. Vectors in the All…
