Universal fusion category symmetries on tensor products of infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces

We show that anyon chains, after stabilizing with infinite-dimensional ancilla spaces, factorize locally as tensor products of infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. This implies that any unitary fusion category can be realized as symmetries on a tensor product of infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. We then show that any two anyon chains with the same symmetry category are related by a symmetry-compatible locality-preserving unitary after stabilizing with infinite-dimensional ancilla, showing that for a fixed fusion category, there is a single stable equivalence class of symmetry realizations on the lattice via anyon chains. As a corollary of our proof, we show that the physical boundary algebras of Levin-Wen type models are bounded spread isomorphic after stabilization if and only if they have the same bulk topological order.

learn2learn: A Library for Meta-Learning Research

Meta-learning researchers face two fundamental issues in their empirical work: prototyping and reproducibility. Researchers are prone to make mistakes when prototyping new algorithms and tasks because modern meta-learning methods rely on unconventional functionalities of machine learning frameworks. In turn, reproducing existing results becomes a tedious endeavour -- a situation exacerbated by the lack of standardized implementations and benchmarks. As a result, researchers spend inordinate amounts of time on implementing software rather than understanding and developing new ideas. This manuscript introduces learn2learn, a library for meta-learning research focused on solving those prototyping and reproducibility issues. learn2learn provides low-level routines common across a wide-range of meta-learning techniques (e.g. meta-descent, meta-reinforcement learning, few-shot learning), and builds standardized interfaces to algorithms and benchmarks on top of them. In releasing learn2learn under a free and open source license, we hope to foster a community around standardized software for meta-learning research.
