Information dynamics and symmetry breaking in generic monitored -symmetric open quantum systems

Jacob Hauser, Ali Lavasani, Sagar Vijay +1

We investigate the steady-state phases of generic -symmetric monitored, open quantum dynamics. We describe the phases systematically in terms of both information-theo…

Persistent Topological Negativity in a High-Temperature Mixed-State

Yonna Kim, Ali Lavasani, Sagar Vijay

We study the entanglement structure of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state as it thermalizes under a strongly-symmetric quantum channel describing the Metropolis-Hastings d…

Information dynamics in decohered quantum memory with repeated syndrome measurements: a dual approach

Jacob Hauser, Yimu Bao, Shengqi Sang +3

Measurements can detect errors in a decohered quantum memory allowing active error correction to increase the memory time. Previous understanding of this mechanism has focused on e…

On stability of k-local quantum phases of matter

Ali Lavasani, Michael J. Gullans, Victor V. Albert +1

The current theoretical framework for topological phases of matter is based on the thermodynamic limit of a system with geometrically local interactions. A natural question is to w…

The Stability of Gapped Quantum Matter and Error-Correction with Adiabatic Noise

Ali Lavasani, Sagar Vijay

The codespace of a quantum error-correcting code can often be identified with the degenerate ground-space within a gapped phase of quantum matter. We argue that the stability of su…

Universality of the cross entropy in symmetric monitored quantum circuits

Maria Tikhanovskaya, Ali Lavasani, Matthew P. A. Fisher +1

The linear cross-entropy (LXE) has been recently proposed as a scalable probe of the measurement-driven phase transition between volume- and area-law-entangled phases of pure-state…
