Rare Events and Griffiths Phases in Topological Quantum Error Correction
Adithya Sriram, Nicholas O'Dea, Yaodong Li +2
The performance of quantum error correcting (QEC) codes are often studied under the assumption of spatio-temporally uniform error rates. On the other hand, experimental implementat…
LDPC stabilizer codes as gapped quantum phases: stability under graph-local perturbations
Wojciech De Roeck, Vedika Khemani, Yaodong Li +2
We generalize the proof of stability of topological order, due to Bravyi, Hastings and Michalakis, to stabilizer Hamiltonians corresponding to low-density parity check (LDPC) codes…
Locality forces equal energy spacing of quantum many-body scar towers
Nicholas O'Dea, Lei Gioia, Sanjay Moudgalya +1
Quantum many-body scars are non-thermal eigenstates embedded in the spectra of otherwise non-integrable Hamiltonians. Paradigmatic examples often appear as quasiparticle towers of…
Perturbative stability and error correction thresholds of quantum codes
Yaodong Li, Nicholas O'Dea, Vedika Khemani
Topologically-ordered phases are stable to local perturbations, and topological quantum error-correcting codes enjoy thresholds to local errors. We connect the two notions of stabi…
Entanglement Oscillations from Many-Body Quantum Scars
Nicholas O'Dea, Adithya Sriram
Quantum scars are nonthermal eigenstates that prevent thermalization of initial states with weight on the scars. When the scar states are equally spaced in energy, superpositions o…
