Hardness of observing strong-to-weak symmetry breaking
Xiaozhou Feng, Zihan Cheng, Matteo Ippoliti
Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is the cornerstone of our understanding of quantum phases of matter. Recent works have generalized this concept to the domain of mixed states in…

Emergent unitary designs for encoded qubits from coherent errors and syndrome measurements
Zihan Cheng, Eric Huang, Vedika Khemani +2
Unitary -designs are distributions of unitary gates that match the Haar distribution up to its -th statistical moment. They are a crucial resource for randomized quantum prot…

Fractal non-Fermi liquids from moiré-Hofstadter phonons
Ajesh Kumar, Zihan Cheng, Andrew C. Potter
We theoretically explore 2d moiré heterostructures in lattice-commensurate magnetic fields as platforms for quantum simulation of a paradigmatic model of non-Fermi liquid physics:…
