Role of Plaquette Term in Genuine $2+1$D String Dynamics on Quantum Simulators

Yizhuo Tian, N. S. Srivatsa, Kaidi Xu +3

With the advent of quantum simulators of $2+1$D lattice gauge theories (LGTs), a fundamental open question is under what circumstances the observed physics is genuinely $2+1$D rath…
