Calderbank-Shor-Steane codes on group-valued qudits

Ben T. McDonough, Jian-Hao Zhang, Victor V. Albert +1

Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) codes are a versatile quantum error-correcting family built out of commuting - and -type checks. We introduce CSS-like codes on -valued qudits…

Strong-to-weak spontaneous breaking of 1-form symmetry and intrinsically mixed topological order

Carolyn Zhang, Yichen Xu, Jian-Hao Zhang +3

Topological orders in 2+1d are spontaneous symmetry-breaking (SSB) phases of 1-form symmetries in pure states. The notion of symmetry is further enriched in the context of mixed st…

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…

Hydrodynamics as the effective field theory of strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking

Xiaoyang Huang, Marvin Qi, Jian-Hao Zhang +1

Inspired by the hunt for new phases of matter in quantum mixed states, it has recently been proposed that the equivalence of microcanonical and canonical ensembles in statistical m…

Holographic View of Mixed-State Symmetry-Protected Topological Phases in Open Quantum Systems

Shijun Sun, Jian-Hao Zhang, Zhen Bi +1

We establish a holographic duality between d-dimensional mixed-state symmetry-protected topological phases (mSPTs) and (d+1)-dimensional subsystem symmetry-protected topological st…

Strong-to-Weak Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Mixed Quantum States

Leonardo A. Lessa, Ruochen Ma, Jian-Hao Zhang +3

Symmetry in mixed quantum states can manifest in two distinct forms: strong symmetry, where each individual pure state in the quantum ensemble is symmetric with the same charge, an…
