Measurement-based simulation of lattice gauge theory dynamics with adaptive quantum circuits on a trapped-ion processor

Measurement-based quantum simulation (MBQS)---a recently proposed architecture for simulating lattice gauge theories---implements Hamiltonian dynamics by consuming a model-specific entangled resource state with adaptive mid-circuit measurements, rather than by a gate-based circuit. The local constraints in lattice gauge theories are mirrored by the higher-form symmetries of the resource state. Here we report, to our knowledge, the first experimental realization of MBQS of real-time dynamics in the $(2+1)$-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge theory using the Quantinuum System Model H2 trapped-ion processor. We observe coherent evolution of gauge-invariant observables on $2\times2$ and $3\times3$ spatial lattices, consuming virtual three-dimensional cluster states of 200 and 288 resource-state qubits that are generated from instantaneous blocks of 48 and 54 qubits within the 56-qubit register by measurement, reset, and re-entanglement. The measurement record that drives the evolution simultaneously provides one-form-symmetry syndromes at no additional cost, enabling postselection that strongly suppresses observed Gauss-law violations and improves aggregate agreement with ideal Trotterized dynamics. Our results demonstrate that MBQS is a viable, symmetry-aware architecture for simulating lattice field theories on present-day hardware.

Higher-order topological phases protected by noninvertible and subsystem symmetries

Higher-order topological phases with invertible symmetries have been extensively studied in recent years, revealing gapless modes localized on boundaries of higher codimension. In this work, we extend the framework of higher-order symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases to include noninvertible symmetries. We construct a concrete model of a second-order SPT phase in $2+1$ dimensions that hosts symmetry-protected corner modes protected by a noninvertible symmetry. This construction is then generalized to a $d^{th}$-order SPT phase in $d+1$ dimensions, featuring similarly protected corner modes. Additionally, we demonstrate a second-order SPT phase in $3+1$ dimensions exhibiting hinge modes protected by a noninvertible symmetry.

Anomaly inflow for CSS and fractonic lattice models and dualities via cluster state measurement

Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) codes are a class of quantum error correction codes that contains the toric code and fracton models. A procedure called foliation defines a cluster state for a given CSS code. We use the CSS chain complex and its tensor product with other chain complexes to describe the topological structure in the foliated cluster state, and argue that it has a symmetry-protected topological order protected by generalized global symmetries supported on cycles in the foliated CSS chain complex. We demonstrate the so-called anomaly inflow between CSS codes and corresponding foliated cluster states by explicitly showing the equality of the gauge transformations of the bulk and boundary partition functions defined as functionals of defect world-volumes. We show that the bulk and boundary defects are related via measurement of the bulk system. Further, we provide a procedure to obtain statistical models associated with general CSS codes via the foliated cluster state, and derive a generalization of the Kramers-Wannier-Wegner duality for such statistical models with insertion of twist defects. We also study the measurement-assisted gauging method with cluster-state entanglers for CSS/fracton models based on recent proposals in the literature, and demonstrate a non-invertible fusion of duality operators. Using the cluster-state entanglers, we construct the so-called strange correlator for general CSS/fracton models. Finally, we introduce a new family of subsystem-symmetric quantum models each of which is self-dual under the generalized Kramers-Wannier-Wegner duality transformation, which becomes a non-invertible symmetry.

Quantum gate broadcasting on graphs

Given a known or unknown phase encoded in a higher-dimensional qudit gate, it is possible to send copies of a gate that encodes the phase to multiple receivers based on a generalized quantum teleportation. We extend this quantum gate broadcast protocol to a quantum network on directed acyclic graphs in which agents can add phase gates to be distributed and pass unknown phase gates to subsequent receivers. Similarly to the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state, we show that the resource state can be efficiently prepared in finite time.

Local symmetries and extensive ground-state degeneracy of a 1D supersymmetric fermionic chain

We study a $1$D supersymmetric (SUSY) hard-core fermion model first proposed by Fendley, Schoutens, and de Boer [Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 120402 (2003)]. We focus on the full Hilbert space instead of a restricted subspace. Exact diagonalization shows the degeneracy of zero-energy states scales exponentially with size of the system, with a recurrence relation between different system sizes. We solve the degeneracy problem by showing the ground states can be systematically constructed by inserting immobile walls of fermions into the chain. Mapping the counting problem to a combinatorial one and obtaining the exact generating function, we prove the recurrence relation on both open and periodic chains. We also provide an explicit mapping between ground states, giving a combinatorial explanation of the recurrence relation.

Bulk and boundary entanglement transitions in the projective gauge-Higgs model

In quantum many-body spin systems, the interplay between the entangling effect of multi-qubit Pauli measurements and the disentangling effect of single-qubit Pauli measurements may give rise to two competing effects. By introducing a randomized measurement pattern with such bases, a phase transition can be induced by altering the ratio between them. In this work, we numerically investigate a measurement-based model associated with the $(2+1)$d $\mathbb{Z}_2$ Fradkin-Shenker Hamiltonian model, encompassing the deconfining, confining, and Higgs phases. We determine the phase diagram in our measurement-only model by employing entanglement measures. For the bulk topological order, we use the topological entanglement entropy. We also use the mutual information between separated boundary regions to diagnose the boundary phase transition associated with the Higgs or the bulk SPT phase. We observe the structural similarity between our phase diagram and the one in the standard quantum Hamiltonian formulation of the Fradkin-Shenker model with the open rough boundary. First, a deconfining phase is detected by nonzero and constant topological entanglement entropy. Second, we find a (boundary) phase transition curve separating the Higgs=SPT phase from the rest. In certain limits, the topological phase transitions reside at the critical point of the formation of giant homological cycles in the bulk 3d spacetime lattice, as well as the bond percolation threshold of the boundary 2d spacetime lattice when it is effectively decoupled from the bulk. Additionally, there are analogous mixed-phase properties at a certain region of the phase diagram, emerging from how we terminate the measurement-based procedure. Our findings pave an alternative pathway to study the physics of Higgs=SPT phases on quantum devices in the near future.

Feedback-based Quantum Algorithm Inspired by Counterdiabatic Driving

In recent quantum algorithmic developments, a feedback-based approach has shown promise for preparing quantum many-body system ground states and solving combinatorial optimization problems. This method utilizes quantum Lyapunov control to iteratively construct quantum circuits. Here, we propose a substantial enhancement by implementing a protocol that uses ideas from quantum Lyapunov control and the counterdiabatic driving protocol, a key concept from quantum adiabaticity. Our approach introduces an additional control field inspired by counterdiabatic driving. We apply our algorithm to prepare ground states in one-dimensional quantum Ising spin chains. Comprehensive simulations demonstrate a remarkable acceleration in population transfer to low-energy states within a significantly reduced time frame compared to conventional feedback-based quantum algorithms. This acceleration translates to a reduced quantum circuit depth, a critical metric for potential quantum computer implementation. We validate our algorithm on the IBM cloud computer, highlighting its efficacy in expediting quantum computations for many-body systems and combinatorial optimization problems.

Anomaly inflow, dualities, and quantum simulation of abelian lattice gauge theories induced by measurements

Previous work [SciPost Phys. 14, 129 (2023)] has demonstrated that quantum simulation of abelian lattice gauge theories (Wegner models including the toric code in a limit) in general dimensions can be achieved by local adaptive measurements on symmetry-protected topological (SPT) states with higher-form generalized global symmetries. The entanglement structure of the resource SPT state reflects the geometric structure of the gauge theory. In this work, we explicitly demonstrate the anomaly inflow mechanism between the deconfining phase of the simulated gauge theory on the boundary and the SPT state in the bulk, by showing that the anomalous gauge variation of the boundary state obtained by bulk measurement matches that of the bulk theory. Moreover, we construct the resource state and the measurement pattern for the measurement-based quantum simulation of a lattice gauge theory with a matter field (Fradkin-Shenker model), where a simple scheme to protect gauge invariance of the simulated state against errors is proposed. We further consider taking an overlap between the wave function of the resource state for lattice gauge theories and that of a parameterized product state, and we derive precise dualities between partition functions with insertion of defects corresponding to gauging higher-form global symmetries, as well as measurement-induced phases where states induced by a partial overlap possess different (symmetry-protected) topological orders. Measurement-assisted operators to dualize quantum Hamiltonians of lattice gauge theories and their non-invertibility are also presented.

Improved Quantum Power Method and Numerical Integration Using Quantum Singular Value Transformation

Quantum singular value transformation (QSVT) is a framework that has been shown to unify many primitives in quantum algorithms. In this work, we leverage the QSVT framework in two directions. We first show that the QSVT framework can accelerate one recently introduced quantum power method, which substantially improves its running time. Additionally, we incorporate several elementary numerical integration techniques, such as the rectangular method, Monte Carlo method, and quadrature method, into the QSVT framework, which results in polynomial speedup with respect to the size or the number of points of the grid. Our results thus provide further examples to demonstrate the potential of the QSVT and how it may enhance quantum algorithmic tasks.

Kennedy-Tasaki transformation and non-invertible symmetry in lattice models beyond one dimension

We give an explicit operator representation (via a sequential circuit and projection to symmetry subspaces) of Kramers-Wannier duality transformation in higher-dimensional subsystem symmetric models generalizing the construction in the 1D transverse-field Ising model. Using the Kramers-Wannier duality operator, we also construct the Kennedy-Tasaki transformation that maps subsystem symmetry-protected topological phases to spontaneous subsystem symmetry breaking phases, where the symmetry group for the former is either $\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2$ or $\mathbb{Z}_2$. This generalizes the recently proposed picture of one-dimensional Kennedy-Tasaki transformation as a composition of manipulations involving gauging and stacking symmetry-protected topological phases to higher dimensions.

Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories via deterministic duality transformations assisted by measurements

Quantum simulation is one of the major applications of quantum devices. In the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era, however, the general quantum simulation is not yet feasible, such as that of lattice gauge theories, which is likely limited due to the violation of the Gauss law constraint and the complexity of the real-time dynamics, especially in the deconfined phase. Inspired by the recent works of S. Ashkenazi and E. Zohar [Phys. Rev. A 105, 022431 (2022)] and of N. Tantivasadakarn, R. Thorngren, A. Vishwanath, and R. Verresen [arXiv: 2112.01519], we propose to simulate dynamics of lattice gauge theories by using the Kramers-Wannier transfomation via cluster-state-like entanglers, mid-circuit measurements and feedforwarded corrections, which altogether is a constant-depth deterministic operation. In our scheme, specifically, we first quantum simulate the time evolution under a corresponding symmetric Hamiltonian from an initial symmetric state, and then apply the Kramers-Wannier procedure. This results in a wave function that has time evolved under the corresponding lattice gauge theory from a corresponding initial, gauged wave function. In the presence of noises in time evolution, the procedure succeeds when we can pair up magnetic monopoles represented by non-trivial measurement outcomes. Further, given a noise-free Kramers-Wannier transformation, the resulting wave function from a noisy time evolution satisfies the Gauss law constraint. We give explicit examples with the low dimensional pure gauge theories and gauge theories coupled to bosonic/fermionic matters such as the Fradkin-Shenker model.

Measurement-based quantum simulation of Abelian lattice gauge theories

The digital quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories is expected to become a major application of quantum computers. Measurement-based quantum computation is a widely studied competitor of the standard circuit-based approach. We formulate a measurement-based scheme to perform the quantum simulation of Abelian lattice gauge theories in general dimensions. The scheme uses an entangled resource state that is tailored for the purpose of gauge theory simulation and reflects the spacetime structure of the simulated theory. Sequential single-qubit measurements with the bases adapted according to the former measurement outcomes induce a deterministic Hamiltonian quantum simulation of the gauge theory on the boundary. We treat as our main example the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory in $2+1$ dimensions, simulated on a 3-dimensional cluster state. Then we generalize the simulation scheme to Wegner's lattice models that involve higher-form Abelian gauge fields. The resource state has a symmetry-protected topological order with respect to generalized global symmetries that are related to the symmetries of the simulated gauge theories. We also propose a method to simulate the imaginary-time evolution with two-qubit measurements and post-selections.

Symmetry-enriched topological order from partially gauging symmetry-protected topologically ordered states assisted by measurements

Symmetry protected topological phases exhibit nontrivial short-ranged entanglement protected by symmetry and cannot be adiabatically connected to trivial product states while preserving the symmetry. In contrast, intrinsic topological phases do not need ordinary symmetry to stabilize them and their ground states exhibit long-range entanglement. It is known that for a given symmetry group $G$, the 2D SPT phase protected by $G$ is dual to the 2D topological phase exemplified by the twisted quantum double model $D^ω(G)$ via gauging the global symmetry $G$. Recently it was realized that such a general gauging map can be implemented by some local unitaries and local measurements when $G$ is a finite, solvable group. Here, we review the general approach to gauging a $G$-SPT starting from a fixed-point ground-state wave function and applying a $N$-step gauging procedure. We provide an in-depth analysis of the intermediate states emerging during the N-step gauging and provide tools to measure and identify the emerging symmetry-enriched topological order of these states. We construct the generic lattice parent Hamiltonians for these intermediate states, and show that they form an entangled superposition of a twisted quantum double with an SPT ordered state. Notably, we show that they can be connected to the TQD through a finite-depth, local quantum circuit which does not respect the global symmetry of the SET order. We introduce the so-called symmetry branch line operators and show that they can be used to extract the symmetry fractionalization classes and symmetry defectification classes of the SET phases with the input data $G$ and $[ω]\in H^3(G,U(1))$ of the pre-gauged SPT ordered state. We illustrate the procedure of preparing and characterizing the emerging SET ordered states for some Abelian and non-Abelian examples such as dihedral groups $D_n$ and the quaternion group $Q_8$.

Broadcasting single-qubit and multi-qubit-entangled states: authentication, cryptography, and distributed quantum computation

Quantum entanglement assisted with measurements provides various pathways to communicate information to parties within a network. In this work, we generalize a previous broadcasting protocol and present schemes to broadcast product and multi-partite entangled quantum states, where in the latter case the sender can remotely add phase gates or abort distributing the states. We first focus on the broadcasting of product quantum states in a network, and generalize the basic protocol to include an arbitrary basis rotation and allow for multiple receivers and senders. We show how to add and delete senders from the network. The generalization also includes the case where a phase to be applied to the broadcast states is not known in advance but is provided to a sender encoded in another quantum state. Applications of broadcasting product states include authentication and three-state quantum cryptography. In the second part, we study the distribution of a single multi-qubit state shared among several receivers entangled with multi-qubit phase gates, which includes the graph states as an example. We show that by coordinating with the sender, the receivers can assist in performing remote, distributed measurement-based quantum computation with the Pauli X basis measurement alone. As another application of this, we discuss the distribution of the multi-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state.

Measurement-based quantum simulation of Abelian lattice gauge theories

Numerical simulation of lattice gauge theories is an indispensable tool in high energy physics, and their quantum simulation is expected to become a major application of quantum computers in the future. In this work, for an Abelian lattice gauge theory in $d$ spacetime dimensions, we define an entangled resource state (generalized cluster state) that reflects the spacetime structure of the gauge theory. We show that sequential single-qubit measurements with the bases adapted according to the former measurement outcomes induce a deterministic Hamiltonian quantum simulation of the gauge theory on the boundary. Our construction includes the $(2+1)$-dimensional Abelian lattice gauge theory simulated on three-dimensional cluster state as an example, and generalizes to the simulation of Wegner's lattice models $M_{(d,n)}$ that involve higher-form Abelian gauge fields. We demonstrate that the generalized cluster state has a symmetry-protected topological order with respect to generalized global symmetries that are related to the symmetries of the simulated gauge theories on the boundary. Our procedure can be generalized to the simulation of Kitaev's Majorana chain on a fermionic resource state. We also study the imaginary-time quantum simulation with two-qubit measurements and post-selections, and a classical-quantum correspondence, where the statistical partition function of the model $M_{(d,n)}$ is written as the overlap between the product of two-qubit measurement bases and the wave function of the generalized cluster state.

Fermion scattering amplitudes from gauge-invariant actions for open superstring field theory

We calculate on-shell scattering amplitudes involving fermions at the tree level in open superstring field theory. We confirm that four-point and five-point amplitudes in the world-sheet path integral with the standard prescription using picture-changing operators are reproduced. For the four-point amplitudes, we find that the quartic interaction required by gauge invariance adjusts the different assignment of picture-changing operators in the $s$-channel and in the $t$-channel of Feynman diagrams with two cubic vertices. For the five-point amplitudes, the correct amplitudes are reproduced in a more intricate way via the quartic and quintic interactions. Our calculations can be interpreted as those for a complete action with a constraint on the Ramond sector or as those for the covariant formulation developed by Sen with spurious free fields.
