Twisted locality-preserving automorphisms, anomaly index, and generalized Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorems with anti-unitary symmetries
Ruizhi Liu, Jinmin Yi, Liujun Zou
Symmetries and their anomalies are powerful tools to understand quantum matter. In this work, for quantum spin chains, we define twisted locality-preserving automorphisms and their…

Lovász Meets Lieb-Schultz-Mattis: Complexity in Approximate Quantum Error Correction
Jinmin Yi, Ruizhi Liu, Zhi Li
Approximate quantum error correction (AQEC) provides a versatile framework for both quantum information processing and probing many-body entanglement. We reveal a fundamental tensi…

On whether quantum theory needs complex numbers: the foil theories perspective
Yìlè Yīng, Maria Ciudad Alañón, Daniel Centeno +5
Recent work by Renou et al. (2021) has led to some controversy concerning the question of whether quantum theory requires complex numbers for its formulation. We promote the view t…
