Phase diagram of the three-dimensional subsystem toric code

Yaodong Li, C. W. von Keyserlingk, Guanyu Zhu +1

Subsystem quantum error-correcting codes typically involve measuring a sequence of non-commuting parity check operators. They can sometimes exhibit greater fault-tolerance than con…

Decodable hybrid dynamics of open quantum systems with Z_2 symmetry

Yaodong Li, Matthew P. A. Fisher

We explore a class of "open" quantum circuit models with local decoherence ("noise") and local projective measurements, each respecting a global Z_2 symmetry. The model supports a…

Entanglement phase transitions in random stabilizer tensor networks

Zhi-Cheng Yang, Yaodong Li, Matthew P. A. Fisher +1

We explore a class of random tensor network models with "stabilizer" local tensors which we name Random Stabilizer Tensor Networks (RSTNs). For RSTNs defined on a two-dimensional s…

Entanglement Negativity at Measurement-Induced Criticality

Shengqi Sang, Yaodong Li, Tianci Zhou +3

We propose entanglement negativity as a fine-grained probe of measurement-induced criticality. We motivate this proposal in stabilizer states, where for two disjoint subregions, co…
