Twin Phases: Intrinsic Deconfined Quantum Criticality

Alison Warman, Yuhan Gai, Sakura Schafer-Nameki

We introduce the concept of twin phases for a symmetry , defined as inequivalent phases, whose order parameters are part of the same generalized charge under $\mathcal…

Constant-Depth Clifford-Hierarchy Gates via Non-Abelian Surface Codes

Alison Warman, Sakura Schafer-Nameki

We present an entirely 2D constant-depth realization of topologically protected phase gates at any level of the Clifford hierarchy, and beyond, using non-Abelian surface codes. Our…

Twin Algebras: Condensable Algebras beyond Anyons

Yuhan Gai, Sakura Schafer-Nameki, Alison Warman

Condensable algebras in 2+1d non-chiral topological orders characterize gapped boundary conditions and interfaces. Applied to the Symmetry Topological Field Theory, they allow clas…

Gapless Phases in (2+1)d with Non-Invertible Symmetries

Lakshya Bhardwaj, Yuhan Gai, Sheng-Jie Huang +4

The study of gapless phases with categorical (or so-called non-invertible) symmetries is a formidable task, in particular in higher than two space-time dimensions. In this paper we…

Hybrid Lattice Surgery: Non-Clifford Gates via Non-Abelian Surface Codes

Sheng-Jie Huang, Alison Warman, Sakura Schafer-Nameki +1

In universal fault-tolerant quantum computing, implementing logical non-Clifford gates often demands substantial spacetime resources for many error-correcting codes, including the…

Categorical Symmetries in Spin Models with Atom Arrays

Alison Warman, Fan Yang, Apoorv Tiwari +2

Categorical symmetries have recently been shown to generalize the classification of phases of matter, significantly broadening the traditional Landau paradigm. To test these predic…
