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…

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…
