Stability of topological superconducting qubits with number conservation
Matthew F. Lapa, Michael Levin
The study of topological superconductivity is largely based on the analysis of simple mean-field models that do not conserve particle number. A major open question in the field is…
Bulk-boundary correspondence for interacting Floquet systems in two dimensions
Carolyn Zhang, Michael Levin
We present a method for deriving bulk and edge invariants for interacting, many-body localized Floquet systems in two spatial dimensions. This method is based on a general mathemat…
The Free Energy Principle drives neuromorphic development
Chris Fields, Karl Friston, James F. Glazebrook +2
We show how any system with morphological degrees of freedom and locally limited free energy will, under the constraints of the free energy principle, evolve toward a neuromorphic…
Exactly solvable model for a deconfined quantum critical point in 1D
Carolyn Zhang, Michael Levin
We construct an exactly solvable lattice model for a deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP) in (1+1) dimensions. This DQCP occurs in an unusual setting, namely at the edge of a (…
Neurons as hierarchies of quantum reference frames
Chris Fields, James F. Glazebrook, Michael Levin
Conceptual and mathematical models of neurons have lagged behind empirical understanding for decades. Here we extend previous work in modeling biological systems with fully scale-i…
A free energy principle for generic quantum systems
Chris Fields, Karl Friston, James F. Glazebrook +1
The Free Energy Principle (FEP) states that under suitable conditions of weak coupling, random dynamical systems with sufficient degrees of freedom will behave so as to minimize an…
