Extensive long-range magic in non-Abelian topological orders

Yuzhen Zhang, Isaac H. Kim, Yimu Bao +1

We show that the low-energy states of non-Abelian topological orders possess extensive magic which is long-ranged, and cannot be eliminated by a constant-depth local unitary circui…

Non-linear Sigma Model for the Surface Code with Coherent Errors

Stephen W. Yan, Yimu Bao, Sagar Vijay

The surface code is a promising platform for a quantum memory, but its threshold under coherent errors remains incompletely understood. We study maximum-likelihood decoding of the…

No-go theorems for sequential preparation of two-dimensional chiral states via channel-state correspondence

Ruihua Fan, Yantao Wu, Yimu Bao +1

We investigate whether sequential unitary circuits can prepare two-dimensional chiral states, using a correspondence between sequentially prepared states, isometric tensor network…

Designs from magic-augmented Clifford circuits

Yuzhen Zhang, Sagar Vijay, Yingfei Gu +1

We introduce magic-augmented Clifford circuits -- architectures in which Clifford circuits are preceded and/or followed by constant-depth circuits of non-Clifford (``magic") gates…

Phases of Floquet code under local decoherence

Yuchen Tang, Yimu Bao

Floquet code is a dynamical quantum memory with a periodically evolving logical space. As a defining feature, the code exhibits an anyon automorphism after each period, giving rise…

Effective Conformal Field Theory generated from Pure and Dephased Chern insulator

Abhijat Sarma, Yimu Bao, Nayan Myerson-Jain +2

We demonstrate that the fidelity between two states with different Chern numbers serves as a generating theory for an effective conformal fiel…

Phases of decodability in the surface code with unitary errors

Yimu Bao, Sajant Anand

The maximum likelihood (ML) decoder in the two-dimensional surface code with generic unitary errors is governed by a statistical mechanics model with complex weights, which can be…

Spin Liquid and Superconductivity emerging from Steady States and Measurements

Kaixiang Su, Abhijat Sarma, Marcus Bintz +4

We demonstrate that, starting with a simple fermion wave function, the steady mixed state of the evolution of a class of Lindbladians, and the ensemble created by strong local meas…

Information dynamics in decohered quantum memory with repeated syndrome measurements: a dual approach

Jacob Hauser, Yimu Bao, Shengqi Sang +3

Measurements can detect errors in a decohered quantum memory allowing active error correction to increase the memory time. Previous understanding of this mechanism has focused on e…

Tensor network formulation of symmetry protected topological phases in mixed states

Hanyu Xue, Jong Yeon Lee, Yimu Bao

We define and classify symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases in mixed states based on the tensor network formulation of the density matrix. In one dimension, we introduce str…
