Maximal complementarity in the n-qubit Pauli group

Markus Frembs, Giovanni Natale, Christopher S. P. Wever +1

Observables in quantum mechanics are generally complementary, that is, they reveal mutually incompatible pieces of information about a given system. This property is not only a fun…

An algebraically closed family of informational n-qubit purity invariants

Markus Frembs, Giovanni Natale, Christopher S. P. Wever +1

We present a family of quadratics in Pauli expectation values, and prove that they constitute state-independent invariants for all n-qubit pure states. This family generalises the…

Gauss law codes and vacuum codes from lattice gauge theories

Javier P. Lacambra, Aidan Chatwin-Davies, Masazumi Honda +1

We develop a comprehensive framework for constructing quantum error correcting codes (QECCs) from Abelian lattice gauge theories (LGTs) using quantum reference frames (QRFs) as a u…

Fighting non-locality with non-locality: microcausality and boundary conditions in QED

Philipp A. Hoehn, Josh Kirklin

In gauge theories, globally charged observables necessarily depend non-locally on the kinematical fields, with this dependence extending to the asymptotic boundary of spacetime. De…

On the relation between perspective-neutral, algebraic, and effective quantum reference frames

Julian De Vuyst, Philipp A. Hoehn, Artur Tsobanjan

The framework of internal quantum reference frames (QRFs) constitutes a universal toolset for dealing with symmetries in quantum theory and has led to new revelations in quantum gr…

Relational entanglement entropies and quantum reference frames in gauge theories

Goncalo Araujo-Regado, Philipp A. Hoehn, Francesco Sartini

It has been shown that defining gravitational entanglement entropies relative to quantum reference frames (QRFs) intrinsically regularizes them. Here, we demonstrate that such rela…

Crossed products and quantum reference frames: on the observer-dependence of gravitational entropy

Julian De Vuyst, Stefan Eccles, Philipp A. Hoehn +1

A significant step towards a rigorous understanding of perturbative gravitational entropy was recently achieved by a series of works showing that a proper accounting of gauge invar…

A correspondence between quantum error correcting codes and quantum reference frames

Sylvain Carrozza, Aidan Chatwin-Davies, Philipp A. Hoehn +1

In a gauge theory, a collection of kinematical degrees of freedom is used to redundantly describe a smaller amount of gauge-invariant information. In a quantum error correcting cod…

Linearization (in)stabilities and crossed products

Julian De Vuyst, Stefan Eccles, Philipp A. Hoehn +1

Modular crossed product algebras have recently assumed an important role in perturbative quantum gravity as they lead to an intrinsic regularization of entanglement entropies by in…

Gravitational entropy is observer-dependent

Julian De Vuyst, Stefan Eccles, Philipp A. Hoehn +1

In quantum gravity, it has been argued that a proper accounting of the role played by an observer promotes the von Neumann algebra of observables in a given spacetime subregion fro…

Quantum Frame Relativity of Subsystems, Correlations and Thermodynamics

Philipp A. Hoehn, Isha Kotecha, Fabio M. Mele

It was recently noted that different internal quantum reference frames (QRFs) partition a system in different ways into subsystems, much like different inertial observers in specia…

Matter relative to quantum hypersurfaces

Philipp A. Hoehn, Andrea Russo, Alexander R. H. Smith

We explore the canonical description of a scalar field as a parameterized field theory on an extended phase space that includes additional embedding fields that characterize spacet…

Diffeomorphism-invariant observables and dynamical frames in gravity: reconciling bulk locality with general covariance

Christophe Goeller, Philipp A. Hoehn, Josh Kirklin

We describe a completely general and fully non-perturbative framework for constructing dynamical reference frames in generally covariant theories, and for understanding the gauge-i…
