Entanglement cost hierarchies in quantum fragmented mixed states

Subhayan Sahu, Yahui Li, Pablo Sala

Strong symmetries enforce non-trivial quantum entanglement patterns on the stationary states of symmetric open quantum dynamics. Specifically, non-commuting conserved quantities le…

Dynamics in the presence of local symmetry-breaking impurities

Yahui Li, Pablo Sala, Frank Pollmann +2

Continuous symmetries lead to universal slow relaxation of correlation functions in quantum many-body systems. In this work, we study how local symmetry-breaking impurities affect…

Highly entangled stationary states from strong symmetries

Yahui Li, Frank Pollmann, Nicholas Read +1

We find that the presence of strong non-Abelian conserved quantities can lead to highly entangled stationary states even for unital quantum channels. We derive exact expressions fo…

Spontaneous Strong Symmetry Breaking in Open Systems: Purification Perspective

Pablo Sala, Sarang Gopalakrishnan, Masaki Oshikawa +1

We explore the landscape of the decoherence effect in mixed-state ensembles from a purification perspective. We analyze the spontaneous strong-to-weak symmetry breaking (SSSB) in m…

Quantum criticality under imperfect teleportation

Pablo Sala, Sara Murciano, Yue Liu +1

Entanglement, measurement, and classical communication together enable teleportation of quantum states between distant parties, in principle with perfect fidelity. To what extent d…

Hilbert Space Fragmentation in Open Quantum Systems

Yahui Li, Pablo Sala, Frank Pollmann

We investigate the phenomenon of Hilbert space fragmentation (HSF) in open quantum systems and find that it can stabilize highly entangled steady states. For concreteness, we consi…
