Error-Adaptive Quasi-local Decoding of the Toric Code

Hossein Dehghani, Sarang Gopalakrishnan, Michael Gullans

Topological quantum memories need decoders that are both reliable and scalable, but these goals compete: globally informed decoders are accurate near threshold yet expensive, while…

Lieb-Schultz-Mattis Constraints for Quantum Channels: A Spacetime-Duality View

Sarang Gopalakrishnan, Yu-Jie Liu, Tsung-Cheng Lu +2

Quantum anomalies strongly constrain the possible behavior of many-body systems. A prime example is the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) theorem, which relates UV symmetry and filling con…

Simple slow operators and quantum thermalization

Tian-Hua Yang, Sarang Gopalakrishnan, Dmitry A. Abanin

We establish a rigorous relation between the thermalization of typical initial states and the dynamics of local operators. We introduce a concept of simple slow operators (SSOs), d…

Stability of mixed-state phases under weak decoherence

Yifan F. Zhang, Sarang Gopalakrishnan

We prove that the Gibbs states of classical, and commuting-Pauli, Hamiltonians are stable under weak local decoherence: i.e., we show that the effect of the decoherence can be loca…

Holographic duality between bulk topological order and boundary mixed-state order

Tsung-Cheng Lu, Yu-Jie Liu, Sarang Gopalakrishnan +1

We introduce a holographic framework for analyzing the steady states of repeated quantum channels with strong symmetries. Using channel-state duality, we show that the steady state…

Classically Sampling Noisy Quantum Circuits in Quasi-Polynomial Time under Approximate Markovianity

Yifan F. Zhang, Su-un Lee, Liang Jiang +1

While quantum computing can accomplish tasks that are classically intractable, the presence of noise may destroy this advantage in the absence of fault tolerance. In this work, we…

A robust phase of continuous transversal gates in quantum stabilizer codes

Eric Huang, Pierre-Gabriel Rozon, Arpit Dua +2

A quantum error correcting code protects encoded logical information against errors. Transversal gates are a naturally fault-tolerant way to manipulate logical qubits but cannot be…

Diverging conditional correlation lengths in the approach to high temperature

Jerome Lloyd, Dmitry A. Abanin, Sarang Gopalakrishnan

The Markov length was recently proposed as an information-theoretic diagnostic for quantum mixed-state phase transitions [Sang & Hsieh, Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 070403 (2025)]. Here,…

Spacetime duality between sequential and measurement-feedback circuits

Tsung-Cheng Lu, Sarang Gopalakrishnan, Yizhi You

Two prevalent approaches for preparing long-range entangled quantum states are (i) linear-depth sequential unitary (SU) circuits, which apply local unitary gates sequentially, and…

Metrology of open quantum systems from emitted radiation

Siddhant Midha, Sarang Gopalakrishnan

We explore the task of learning about the dynamics of a Markovian open quantum system by monitoring the information it radiates into its environment. For an open system with Hilber…

The effect of hyperuniform disorder on band gaps

Jonas F. Karcher, Sarang Gopalakrishnan, Mikael C. Rechtsman

The properties of semiconductors, insulators, and photonic crystals are defined by their electronic or photonic bands, and the gaps between them. When the material is disordered, L…
