Quantum resource localizability transitions in deep thermalization

Xiaozhou Feng, Chang Liu, Zihan Cheng +2

We investigate how quantum resource constraints affect deep thermalization, the emergence of universal local wavefunction distributions from partial measurements of a quantum many-…

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…

Pseudoentanglement from tensor networks

Zihan Cheng, Xiaozhou Feng, Matteo Ippoliti

Pseudoentangled states are defined by their ability to hide their entanglement structure: they are indistinguishable from random states to any observer with polynomial resources, y…

Universal structure of measurement-induced information in many-body ground states

Zihan Cheng, Rui Wen, Sarang Gopalakrishnan +2

Unlike unitary dynamics, measurements of a subsystem can induce long-range entanglement via quantum teleportation. The amount of measurement-induced entanglement or mutual informat…

Efficient sampling of noisy shallow circuits via monitored unraveling

Zihan Cheng, Matteo Ippoliti

We introduce a classical algorithm for sampling the output of shallow, noisy random circuits on two-dimensional qubit arrays. The algorithm builds on the recently-proposed "space-e…

Characterizing a non-equilibrium phase transition on a quantum computer

Eli Chertkov, Zihan Cheng, Andrew C. Potter +13

At transitions between phases of matter, physical systems can exhibit universal behavior independent of their microscopic details. Probing such behavior in quantum many-body system…

A matrix product operator approach to non-equilibrium Floquet steady states

Zihan Cheng, Andrew C. Potter

We present a numerical method to simulate non-equilibrium Floquet steady states of one-dimensional periodically-driven (Floquet) many-body systems coupled to a dissipative bath, ca…

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:…
