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…

Information dynamics and symmetry breaking in generic monitored -symmetric open quantum systems

Jacob Hauser, Ali Lavasani, Sagar Vijay +1

We investigate the steady-state phases of generic -symmetric monitored, open quantum dynamics. We describe the phases systematically in terms of both information-theo…

Persistent Topological Negativity in a High-Temperature Mixed-State

Yonna Kim, Ali Lavasani, Sagar Vijay

We study the entanglement structure of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state as it thermalizes under a strongly-symmetric quantum channel describing the Metropolis-Hastings d…

Dissipative Dynamical Phase Transition as a Complex Ising Model

Stephen W. Yan, Diego Barberena, Matthew P. A. Fisher +1

We investigate a quantum dynamical phase transition induced by the competition between local unitary evolution and dissipation in a qubit chain with a strong, on-site $\mathbb{Z}_2…
