Noise-induced contraction of MPO truncation errors in noisy random circuits and Lindbladian dynamics

Zhi-Yuan Wei, Joel Rajakumar, Jon Nelson +3

We study how matrix-product-operator (MPO) truncation errors evolve when simulating two setups: (1) 1D Haar-random circuits under either depolarizing noise or amplitude-damping noi…

Measurement-induced entanglement in noisy 2D random circuits

Zhi-Yuan Wei, Jon Nelson, Joel Rajakumar +4

We study measurement-induced entanglement (MIE) generated by column-by-column sampling of noisy 2D random circuits of size and depth . Focusing primarily on Clifford circuit…

Polynomial-Time Classical Simulation of Noisy Quantum Circuits with Naturally Fault-Tolerant Gates

Jon Nelson, Joel Rajakumar, Dominik Hangleiter +1

We construct a polynomial-time classical algorithm that samples from the output distribution of noisy geometrically local Clifford circuits with any product-state input and single-…

Non-Clifford Gates are Required for Long-Term Memory

Jon Nelson, Joel Rajakumar, Michael J. Gullans

We show that all Clifford circuits under interspersed depolarizing noise lose memory of their input exponentially quickly, even when given access to a constant supply of fresh qubi…

Error correction phase transition in noisy random quantum circuits

Jon Nelson, Joel Rajakumar, Michael J. Gullans

In this work, we study the task of encoding logical information via a noisy quantum circuit. It is known that at superlogarithmic depth, the output of any noisy circuit without res…

Limitations of Noisy Geometrically Local Quantum Circuits

Jon Nelson, Joel Rajakumar, Michael J. Gullans

It has been known for almost 30 years that quantum circuits with interspersed depolarizing noise converge to the uniform distribution at depth, where is the number…
