Computing with qLDPC Codes by Climbing the Chain Map Hierarchy

Rahul Sahay, David M. Long, Vedika Khemani

We develop a framework for logical computation with qLDPC codes that places logical Pauli, Clifford, and non-Clifford operations on the same footing. This brings the simple homolog…

Brownian ratchets and pumps universally simulate many-body active dynamics

Charles Stahl, Ethan Lake, Vedika Khemani

Active systems can exhibit a broad range of phenomena forbidden in equilibrium. Their dynamics are often specified by abstract local update rules, and it is generally unclear when…

Non-Abelian Quantum Low-Density Parity Check Codes and Non-Clifford Operations from Gauging Logical Gates via Measurements

Maine Christos, Chiu Fan Bowen Lo, Vedika Khemani +1

In this work, we introduce constructions for non-Abelian qLDPC codes obtained by gauging transversal Clifford gates using measurement and feedback. In particular, we identify two q…

Slow mixing and emergent one-form symmetries in three-dimensional gauge theory

Charles Stahl, Benedikt Placke, Vedika Khemani +1

Symmetry-breaking order at low temperatures is often accompanied by slow relaxation dynamics, due to diverging free-energy barriers arising from interfaces between different ordere…

Diffusion Codes: Self-Correction from Small(er)-Set Expansion with Tunable Non-locality

Adithya Sriram, Vedika Khemani, Benedikt Placke

Optimal constructions of classical LDPC codes can be obtained by choosing the Tanner graph uniformly at random among biregular graphs. We introduce a class of codes that we call ``…

Circuit-based characterization of finite-temperature quantum phases and self-correcting quantum memory

Ruochen Ma, Vedika Khemani, Shengqi Sang

Quantum phases at zero temperature can be characterized as equivalence classes under local unitary transformations: two ground states within a gapped phase can be transformed into…

Expansion creates spin-glass order in finite-connectivity models: a rigorous and intuitive approach from the theory of LDPC codes

Benedikt Placke, Grace M. Sommers, Nikolas P. Breuckmann +2

Complex free-energy landscapes with many local minima separated by large barriers are believed to underlie glassy behavior across diverse physical systems. This is the heuristic pi…

Quantum chaos at finite temperature in local spin Hamiltonians

Christopher M. Langlett, Cheryne Jonay, Vedika Khemani +1

Understanding the emergence of chaos in many-body quantum systems away from semi-classical limits, particularly in spatially local interacting spin Hamiltonians, has been a long-st…

Topological Quantum Spin Glass Order and its realization in qLDPC codes

Benedikt Placke, Tibor Rakovszky, Nikolas P. Breuckmann +1

Ordered phases of matter have close connections to computation. Two prominent examples are spin glass order, with wide-ranging applications in machine learning and optimization, an…

Bottlenecks in quantum channels and finite temperature phases of matter

Tibor Rakovszky, Benedikt Placke, Nikolas P. Breuckmann +1

We prove an analog of the "bottleneck theorem," well-known for classical Markov chains, for Markovian quantum channels. In particular, we show that if two regions (subspaces) of Hi…

Emergent unitary designs for encoded qubits from coherent errors and syndrome measurements

Zihan Cheng, Eric Huang, Vedika Khemani +2

Unitary -designs are distributions of unitary gates that match the Haar distribution up to its -th statistical moment. They are a crucial resource for randomized quantum prot…

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…

Absorbing state transitions with long-range annihilation

Nicholas O'Dea, Sayak Bhattacharjee, Sarang Gopalakrishnan +1

We introduce a family of classical stochastic processes describing diffusive particles undergoing branching and long-range annihilation in the presence of a parity constraint. The…

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…

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…

Phases and phase transition in Grover's algorithm with systematic noise

Sasanka Dowarah, Chuanwei Zhang, Vedika Khemani +1

While limitations on quantum computation by Markovian environmental noise are well-understood in generality, their behavior for different quantum circuits and noise realizations ca…

Prethermal stability of eigenstates under high frequency Floquet driving
