Symmetric entanglers for non-invertible SPT phases

arXiv:2509.04581 · doi:10.1103/2r1q-w9sz

Abstract

It has been suggested that non-invertible symmetry protected topological phases (SPT), due to the lack of a stacking structure, do not have symmetric entanglers (globally symmetric finite-depth quantum circuits) connecting them. Using topological holography, we argue that a symmetric entangler should in fact exist for d systems whenever the non-invertible symmetry has SPT phases connected by fixed-charge dualities (FCD). Moreover, we construct an explicit example of a symmetric entangler for the two SPT phases with -symmetry, as a matrix product unitary (MPU).
