Yang-Lee Criticality as a Dissipative Dynamical Phase Transition: Quantum Simulation of non-Hermitian Physics without Post-selection
Stephen W. Yan
We show that the -dimensional Yang-Lee theory describing classical Ising spins in an imaginary magnetic field can be realized, without post-selection, within a open…
Non-linear Sigma Model for the Surface Code with Coherent Errors
Stephen W. Yan, Yimu Bao, Sagar Vijay
The surface code is a promising platform for a quantum memory, but its threshold under coherent errors remains incompletely understood. We study maximum-likelihood decoding of the…
Dissipative Dynamical Phase Transition as a Complex Ising Model
Stephen W. Yan, Diego Barberena, Matthew P. A. Fisher +1
We investigate a quantum dynamical phase transition induced by the competition between local unitary evolution and dissipation in a qubit chain with a strong, on-site $\mathbb{Z}_2…
Spectral form factor in chaotic, localized, and integrable open quantum many-body systems
Jiachen Li, Stephen Yan, Tomaž Prosen +1
We numerically study the spectral statistics of open quantum many-body systems (OQMBS) as signatures of quantum chaos (or the lack thereof), using the dissipative spectral form fac…
Construction of Fractal Order and Phase Transition with Rydberg Atoms
Nayan E. Myerson-Jain, Stephen Yan, David Weld +1
We propose the construction of a many-body phase of matter with fractal structure using arrays of Rydberg atoms. The degenerate low energy excited states of this phase form a self-…
