From gauging to duality in one-dimensional quantum lattice models

Bram Vancraeynest-De Cuiper, José Garre-Rubio, Frank Verstraete +3

Gauging and duality transformations, two of the most useful tools in many-body physics, are shown to be equivalent up to constant depth quantum circuits in the case of one-dimensio…

A simple mechanism for unstable degeneracies in local Hamiltonians

Jose Garre Rubio

If a local Hamiltonian eigenstate is mapped to another state by local operators commuting with the Hamiltonian terms, the latter is also an eigenstate. This basic observation impli…

Internal structure of gauge-invariant Projected Entangled Pair States

David Blanik, José Garre-Rubio, András Molnár +1

Projected entangled pair states (PEPS) are very useful in the description of strongly correlated systems, partly because they allow encoding symmetries, either global or local (gau…

Systematic construction of stabilizer codes via gauging abelian boundary symmetries

Bram Vancraeynest-De Cuiper, José Garre-Rubio

We propose a systematic framework to construct a (d+1)-dimensional stabilizer model from an initial generic d-dimensional abelian symmetry. Our approach builds upon the iterative g…

Fractional domain wall statistics in spin chains with anomalous symmetries

Jose Garre Rubio, Norbert Schuch

We study the statistics of domain wall excitations in quantum spin chains. We focus on systems with finite symmetry groups represented by matrix product unitaries (MPUs), i.e. fini…

Emergent (2+1)D topological orders from iterative (1+1)D gauging

Jose Garre Rubio

Gauging introduces gauge fields in order to localize an existing global symmetry, resulting in a dual global symmetry on the gauge fields that can be gauged again. By iterating the…

Gauging quantum states with non-anomalous matrix product operator symmetries

José Garre Rubio, Ilya Kull

Gauging a global symmetry of a system amounts to introducing new degrees of freedom whose transformation rule makes the overall system observe a local symmetry. In quantum systems…
