Macromux: scalable postselection for high-threshold fault-tolerant quantum computation

Patrick Birchall, Jacob Bridgeman, Christopher Dawson +7

We introduce a new resource-efficient scheme for fault-tolerant quantum computation known as `macroscale multiplexing' (or simply `Macromux'), that utilizes scalable postselection…

Lifting topological codes: Three-dimensional subsystem codes from two-dimensional anyon models

Jacob C. Bridgeman, Aleksander Kubica, Michael Vasmer

Topological subsystem codes in three spatial dimensions allow for quantum error correction with no time overhead, even in the presence of measurement noise. The physical origins of…

Invertible bimodule categories and generalized Schur orthogonality

Jacob C. Bridgeman, Laurens Lootens, Frank Verstraete

The Schur orthogonality relations are a cornerstone in the representation theory of groups. We utilize a generalization to weak Hopf algebras to provide a new, readily verifiable c…

One-dimensional symmetric phases protected by frieze symmetries

Bram Vancraeynest-De Cuiper, Jacob C. Bridgeman, Nicolas Dewolf +2

We make a systematic study of symmetry-protected topological gapped phases of quantum spin chains in the presence of the frieze space groups in one dimension using matrix product s…

Computing associators of endomorphism fusion categories

Daniel Barter, Jacob C. Bridgeman, Ramona Wolf

Many applications of fusion categories, particularly in physics, require the associators or -symbols to be known explicitly. Finding these matrices typically involves solving va…

Boundary topological entanglement entropy in two and three dimensions

Jacob C. Bridgeman, Benjamin J. Brown, Samuel J. Elman

The topological entanglement entropy is used to measure long-range quantum correlations in the ground state of topological phases. Here we obtain closed form expressions for topolo…

Gauging Defects in Quantum Spin Systems

Jacob C. Bridgeman, Alexander Hahn, Tobias J. Osborne +1

The goal of this work is to build a dynamical theory of defects for quantum spin systems. A kinematic theory for an indefinite number of defects is first introduced exploiting dist…

Computing data for Levin-Wen with defects

Jacob C. Bridgeman, Daniel Barter

We demonstrate how to do many computations for non-chiral topological phases with defects. These defects may be 1-dimensional domain walls or 0-dimensional point defects. Using $\o…

Computing Defects Associated to Bounded Domain Wall Structures: The Case

Jacob C. Bridgeman, Daniel Barter

A domain wall structure consists of a planar graph with faces labeled by fusion categories/topological phases. Edges are labeled by bimodules/domain walls. When the vertices are la…

Fusing Binary Interface Defects in Topological Phases: The case

Jacob C. Bridgeman, Daniel Barter, Corey Jones

A binary interface defect is any interface between two (not necessarily invertible) domain walls. We compute all possible binary interface defects in Kitaev's $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{…

Domain walls in topological phases and the Brauer-Picard ring for

Daniel Barter, Jacob C. Bridgeman, Corey Jones

We show how to calculate the relative tensor product of bimodule categories (not necessarily invertible) using ladder string diagrams. As an illustrative example, we compute the Br…

Tensor Networks with a Twist: Anyon-permuting domain walls and defects in PEPS

Jacob C. Bridgeman, Stephen D. Bartlett, Andrew C. Doherty

We study the realization of anyon-permuting symmetries of topological phases on the lattice using tensor networks. Working on the virtual level of a projected entangled pair state,…

Anomalies and entanglement renormalization

Jacob C. Bridgeman, Dominic J. Williamson

We study 't Hooft anomalies of discrete groups in the framework of (1+1)-dimensional multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz states on the lattice. Using matrix product oper…

Hand-waving and Interpretive Dance: An Introductory Course on Tensor Networks

Jacob C. Bridgeman, Christopher T. Chubb

The curse of dimensionality associated with the Hilbert space of spin systems provides a significant obstruction to the study of condensed matter systems. Tensor networks have prov…

Detecting Topological Order with Ribbon Operators

Jacob C. Bridgeman, Steven T. Flammia, David Poulin

We introduce a numerical method for identifying topological order in two-dimensional models based on one-dimensional bulk operators. The idea is to identify approximate symmetries…

Infinitely dimensional Lax structure for one-dimensional Hubbard model

Vladislav Popkov, Tomaz Prosen

We report a two-parametric irreducible infinitely dimensional representation of the Lax integrability condition for the fermi Hubbard chain. Besides being of fundamental interest,…
