Speed limits and locality in many-body quantum dynamics

CFA Chen, A Lucas, C Yin - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the mathematical speed limits on quantum information processing in many-body
systems. After the proof of the Lieb–Robinson Theorem in 1972, the past two decades have …

Efficient long-range entanglement using dynamic circuits

E Bäumer, V Tripathi, DS Wang, P Rall, EH Chen… - PRX Quantum, 2024 - APS
Quantum simulation traditionally relies on unitary dynamics, inherently imposing efficiency
constraints on the generation of intricate entangled states. In principle, these limitations can …

Non-Abelian topological order and anyons on a trapped-ion processor

M Iqbal, N Tantivasadakarn, R Verresen, SL Campbell… - Nature, 2024 - nature.com
Non-Abelian topological order is a coveted state of matter with remarkable properties,
including quasiparticles that can remember the sequence in which they are exchanged …

Measurement as a shortcut to long-range entangled quantum matter

TC Lu, LA Lessa, IH Kim, TH Hsieh - PRX Quantum, 2022 - APS
The preparation of long-range entangled states using unitary circuits is limited by Lieb-
Robinson bounds, but circuits with projective measurements and feedback (“adaptive …

Hierarchy of topological order from finite-depth unitaries, measurement, and feedforward

N Tantivasadakarn, A Vishwanath, R Verresen - PRX Quantum, 2023 - APS
Long-range entanglement—the backbone of topologically ordered states—cannot be
created in finite time using local unitary circuits, or, equivalently, adiabatic state preparation …

Topological order from measurements and feed-forward on a trapped ion quantum computer

M Iqbal, N Tantivasadakarn, TM Gatterman… - Communications …, 2024 - nature.com
Quantum systems evolve in time in one of two ways: through the Schrödinger equation or
wavefunction collapse. So far, deterministic control of quantum many-body systems in the …

Long-range entanglement from measuring symmetry-protected topological phases

N Tantivasadakarn, R Thorngren, A Vishwanath… - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
A fundamental distinction between many-body quantum states are those with short-and long-
range entanglement (SRE and LRE). The latter cannot be created by finite-depth circuits …

Spontaneous strong symmetry breaking in open systems: Purification perspective

P Sala, S Gopalakrishnan, M Oshikawa, Y You - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We explore the effect of decoherence on many-body mixed states from a purification
perspective. Here, quantum channels map to unitary transformations acting on a purified …

Preparation of matrix product states with log-depth quantum circuits

D Malz, G Styliaris, ZY Wei, JI Cirac - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We consider the preparation of matrix product states (MPS) on quantum devices via
quantum circuits of local gates. We first prove that faithfully preparing translation-invariant …

Probing postmeasurement entanglement without postselection

SJ Garratt, E Altman - PRX Quantum, 2024 - APS
We study the problem of observing quantum collective phenomena emerging from large
numbers of measurements. These phenomena are difficult to observe in conventional …
