Witness expansion: A unified framework for analytical and measurable mixed-state resource detection

Yifan Tang, Chengkai Zhu, Yuzhen Zhang +6

Quantum information science aims to harness different kinds of quantum resources to accomplish specific information-processing tasks. These resources also play an increasingly impo…

Extensive long-range magic in non-Abelian topological orders

Yuzhen Zhang, Isaac H. Kim, Yimu Bao +1

We show that the low-energy states of non-Abelian topological orders possess extensive magic which is long-ranged, and cannot be eliminated by a constant-depth local unitary circui…

Learning to erase quantum states: thermodynamic implications of quantum learning theory

Haimeng Zhao, Yuzhen Zhang, John Preskill

The energy cost of erasing quantum states depends on our knowledge of the states. We show that learning algorithms can acquire such knowledge to erase many copies of an unknown sta…

Comments on the de Sitter Double Cone

Zhenbin Yang, Yuzhen Zhang, Wenwen Zheng

We study the double cone geometry proposed by Saad, Shenker, and Stanford in de Sitter space. We demonstrate that with the inclusion of static patch observers, the double cone lead…

Designs from magic-augmented Clifford circuits

Yuzhen Zhang, Sagar Vijay, Yingfei Gu +1

We introduce magic-augmented Clifford circuits -- architectures in which Clifford circuits are preceded and/or followed by constant-depth circuits of non-Clifford (``magic") gates…

Quantum magic dynamics in random circuits

Yuzhen Zhang, Yingfei Gu

Magic refers to the degree of "quantumness" in a system that cannot be fully described by stabilizer states and Clifford operations alone. In quantum computing, stabilizer states a…
