Realizing Braided Fusion 2-Categories as (3+1)D Mixed-State Topological Orders

Ryohei Kobayashi, Abhinav Prem, Matthew Yu

We construct large families of mixed-state topological orders in (3+1)D, including intrinsically mixed-state topological orders. We realize these theories by relating the data para…

Sipser-Spielman meets Dijkgraaf-Witten: non-Abelian qLDPC codes via twisted sheaf gauge theory and almost-constant-overhead magic state fountain

Guanyu Zhu, Shi Jie Samuel Tan, Ryohei Kobayashi +1

Sipser-Spielman codes and Dijkgraaf-Witten twisted gauge theories are among the most profound ideas in the last few decades in the areas of computer science and mathematical physic…

Fermionic Anomalies of Finite Symmetries on Lattices

Ameya Chavda, Ryohei Kobayashi

We develop a lattice characterization of fermionic 't Hooft anomalies of finite internal symmetries in one and two spatial dimensions, formulated in terms of obstructions to symmet…

Sixteen-Fold Way for Fermionic Topological Orders

Ryohei Kobayashi, Abhinav Prem, Matthew Yu

Fermionic topological orders can host 't Hooft anomalies with no bosonic counterpart. We identify a new sixteen-fold family of (2+1)D fermionic topological orders, forming a fermio…

Non-Abelian qLDPC: TQFT Formalism, Addressable Gauging Measurement and Application to Magic State Fountain on 2D Product Codes

Guanyu Zhu, Ryohei Kobayashi, Po-Shen Hsin

A fundamental problem of fault-tolerant quantum computation with quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes is the tradeoff between connectivity and universality. It is widely…

Pauli stabilizer formalism for topological quantum field theories and generalized statistics

Yitao Feng, Hanyu Xue, Ryohei Kobayashi +2

Topological quantum field theory (TQFT) provides a unifying framework for describing topological phases of matter and for constructing quantum error-correcting codes, playing a cen…

Automorphism in Gauge Theories: Higher Symmetries and Transversal Non-Clifford Logical Gates

Po-Shen Hsin, Ryohei Kobayashi

Gauge theories are important descriptions for many physical phenomena and systems in quantum computation. Automorphism of gauge group naturally gives global symmetries of gauge the…

Onsiteability of Higher-Form Symmetries

Yitao Feng, Yu-An Chen, Po-Shen Hsin +1

An internal symmetry in a lattice model is said to be onsiteable if it can be disentangled into an onsite action by introducing ancillas and conjugating with a finite-depth circuit…

Anyonic membranes and Pontryagin statistics

Yitao Feng, Hanyu Xue, Yuyang Li +4

Anyons, unique to two spatial dimensions, underlie extraordinary phenomena such as the fractional quantum Hall effect, but their generalization to higher dimensions has remained el…

Higher-Form Anomalies Imply Intrinsic Long-Range Entanglement

Po-Shen Hsin, Ryohei Kobayashi, Abhinav Prem

We show that generic gapped quantum many-body states which respect an anomalous finite higher-form symmetry have an exponentially small overlap with any short-range entangled (SRE)…
