Fermionic quantum cellular automata in 2d are trivial

Jeffrey Kwan, David M. Long, Jeongwan Haah

Fermionic quantum cellular automata (QCA) are automorphisms of local fermionic operator algebras (-graded superalgebras) that have bounded spread: they map local opera…

Geometrically Enhanced Topological Quantum Codes

David Aasen, Jeongwan Haah, Matthew B. Hastings +1

We consider geometric methods of ``rotating" the toric code in higher dimensions to reduce the qubit count. These geometric methods can be used to prepare higher dimensional toric…

A QCA for every SPT

Lukasz Fidkowski, Jeongwan Haah, Matthew B. Hastings

In three dimensions, there is a nontrivial quantum cellular automaton (QCA) which disentangles the three-fermion Walker--Wang model, a model whose action depends on Stiefel--Whitne…

Efficient approximate unitary designs from random Pauli rotations

Jeongwan Haah, Yunchao Liu, Xinyu Tan

We construct random walks on simple Lie groups that quickly converge to the Haar measure for all moments up to order . Specifically, a step of the walk on the unitary or orthogn…
