Digital quantum magnetism on a trapped-ion quantum computer

Reza Haghshenas, Eli Chertkov, Michael Mills +56

Digital quantum matter -- realized when discrete quantum gates approximate continuous time evolution -- is susceptible to heating into chaotic, structureless states. If digitizatio…

Many-body contextuality and self-testing quantum matter via nonlocal games

Oliver Hart, David T. Stephen, Evan Wickenden +1

Contextuality is arguably the fundamental property that makes quantum mechanics different from classical physics. It is responsible for quantum computational speedups in both magic…

Preparing matrix product states via fusion: constraints and extensions

David T. Stephen, Oliver Hart

In the era of noisy, intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, the efficient preparation of many-body resource states is a task of paramount importance. In this paper we focus on…

Many-body quantum catalysts for transforming between phases of matter

David T. Stephen, Rahul Nandkishore, Jian-Hao Zhang

A catalyst is a substance that enables otherwise impossible transformations between states of a system, without being consumed in the process. In this work, we apply the notion of…

Subsystem Symmetry Fractionalization and Foliated Field Theory

Po-Shen Hsin, David T. Stephen, Arpit Dua +1

Topological quantum matter exhibits a range of exotic phenomena when enriched by subdimensional symmetries. This includes new features beyond those that appear in the conventional…
