Error Threshold of SYK Codes from Strong-to-Weak Parity Symmetry Breaking
arXiv:2410.24225 · doi:10.1103/srf2-1f6d
Abstract
Quantum error correction (QEC) codes are fundamentally linked to quantum phases of matter: the degenerate ground state manifold corresponds to the code space, while topological excitations represent error syndromes. Building on this concept, the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, characterized by its extensive quasi-ground state degeneracy, serves as a constant rate approximate QEC code. In this work, we study the impacts of decoherence on the information-theoretic capacity of SYK models and their variants. Such a capacity is closely tied to traversable wormholes via its thermofield double state, which theoretically enables the teleportation of information across a black hole. We calculate the coherent information in the maximally entangled quasi-ground state space of the SYK models under the fermion parity breaking and parity conserving noise. Interestingly, we find that under the strong fermion parity symmetric noise, the mixed state undergoes the strong to weak spontaneous symmetry breaking of fermion parity, which also corresponds to the information-theoretic transition. Our results highlight the degradation of wormhole traversability in realistic quantum scenarios, as well as providing critical insights into the behavior of approximate constant-rate QEC codes under decoherence.
