Homological origin of the transversal implementability of logical diagonal gates in quantum CSS codes

Transversal Pauli Z rotations provide a natural route to fault-tolerant logical diagonal gates in quantum Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) codes, but their capability is inherently constrained. We develop a homological framework that organizes transversal diagonal gates in terms of their logical action and physical implementation, revealing two layers of structure that govern their behavior. At a fixed level, we establish that their logical action admits a classification in terms of homological data of the underlying chain complex, extending the standard description of logical operators. We then formulate the refinement to finer angles as a lifting problem and derive two Bockstein-type obstruction maps, whose vanishing is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a transversal logical diagonal gate at the next level. Within this framework, known algebraic conditions such as divisibility and triorthogonality are reinterpreted as necessary conditions for the existence of transversal logical diagonal gates with uniform rotation angles. Our results identify homological obstructions governing transversal implementability and provide a conceptual foundation for a formal theory of transversal structures in quantum error correction.

Note on Logical Gates by Gauge Field Formalism of Quantum Error Correction

The gauge field formalism, or operator-valued cochain formalism, has recently emerged as a powerful framework for describing quantum Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) codes. In this work, we extend this framework to construct a broad class of logical gates for general CSS codes, including the S, Hadamard, T, and (multi)controlled-Z gates, under the condition where fault-tolerance or circuit-depth optimality is not necessarily imposed. We show that these logical gates can be expressed as exponentials of polynomial functions of the electric and magnetic gauge fields, which allows us to derive explicit decompositions into physical gates. We further prove that their logical action depends only on the (co)homology classes of the corresponding logical qubits, establishing consistency as logical operations. Our results provide a systematic method for formulating logical gates for general CSS codes, offering new insights into the interplay between quantum error correction, algebraic topology, and quantum field theory.

Hierarchical Quantum Error Correction with Hypergraph Product Code and Rotated Surface Code

We propose and analyze a hierarchical quantum error correction (QEC) scheme that concatenates hypergraph product (HGP) codes with rotated surface codes and that is compatible with quantum computers with only nearest-neighbor interactions. The outer code employs (3,4)-random HGP codes, known for their constant encoding rate and favorable distance scaling, while the inner code consists of a rotated surface code with distance 5, allowing hardware compatibility through lattice surgery. To address the decoding bottleneck, we utilize a soft-decision decoding strategy that combines belief propagation with ordered statistics decoding, enhanced by a syndrome-conditioned logical error probability computed via a tailored lookup table for the inner code. Numerical simulations under a code capacity noise model demonstrate that our hierarchical codes achieve logical error suppression below the threshold. Furthermore, we derive explicit conditions under which the proposed codes surpass surface codes as a QEC code in both qubit efficiency and error rate. In particular, for the size parameter $s \geq 4$ (which corresponds to 16 logical qubits) and the distance $d \geq 25$, our construction outperforms the rotated surface code in practical regimes with physical error rates around or less than $10^{-2}$. These results suggest that concatenated quantum low-density parity-check surface architectures can offer a scalable and resource-efficient path toward near-term fault-tolerant quantum computation.

End-to-end complexity for simulating the Schwinger model on quantum computers

The Schwinger model is one of the simplest gauge theories. It is known that a topological term of the model leads to the infamous sign problem in the classical Monte Carlo method. In contrast to this, recently, quantum computing in Hamiltonian formalism has gained attention. In this work, we estimate the resources needed for quantum computers to compute physical quantities that are challenging to compute on classical computers. Specifically, we propose an efficient implementation of block-encoding of the Schwinger model Hamiltonian. Considering the structure of the Hamiltonian, this block-encoding with a normalization factor of $\mathcal{O}(N^3)$ can be implemented using $\mathcal{O}(N+\log^2(N/\varepsilon))$ T gates. As an end-to-end application, we compute the vacuum persistence amplitude. As a result, we found that for a system size $N=128$ and an additive error $\varepsilon=0.01$, with an evolution time $t$ and a lattice spacing a satisfying $t/2a=10$, the vacuum persistence amplitude can be calculated using about $10^{13}$ T gates. Our results provide insights into predictions about the performance of quantum computers in the FTQC and early FTQC era, clarifying the challenges in solving meaningful problems within a realistic timeframe.

Gradient Flow Exact Renormalization Group for Scalar Quantum Electrodynamics

Gradient Flow Exact Renormalization Group (GF-ERG) is a framework to define the renormalization group flow of Wilsonian effective action utilizing coarse-graining along the diffusion equations. We apply it for Scalar Quantum Electrodynamics and derive flow equations for the Wilsonian effective action with the perturbative expansion in the gauge coupling. We focus on the quantum corrections to the correlation functions up to the second order of the gauge coupling and discuss the gauge invariance of the GF-ERG flow. We demonstrate that the anomalous dimension of the gauge field agrees with the standard perturbative computation and that the mass of the photon keeps vanishing in general spacetime dimensions. The latter is a noteworthy fact that contrasts with the conventional Exact Renormalization Group formalism in which an artificial photon mass proportional to a cutoff scale is induced. Our results imply that the GF-ERG can give a gauge-invariant renormalization group flow in a non-perturbative way.

Functional Renormalization Group Analysis of $O(3)$ Nonlinear Sigma Model and Non-Abelian Bosonization Duality

It is known that the $U(2)$ Wess-Zumino-Witten model is dual to the free fermion theory in two dimensions via non-Abelian bosonization. While it is decomposed into the $SU(2)$ Wess-Zumino-Witten model and a free compact boson, the former is believed to be equivalent to the $O(3)$ nonlinear sigma model with the theta term at $\theta=\pi$. In this work, we reexamine this duality through the lens of non-perturbative renormalization group (RG) flow. We analyze the RG flow structure of the $O(3)$ nonlinear sigma model with the theta term in two dimensions using the functional renormalization group. Our results reveal a nontrivial fixed point with a nonzero value of the topological coupling. The scaling dimensions (critical exponents) at this fixed point suggest the realization of a duality between the $O(3)$ nonlinear sigma model with the theta term and the free fermion theory, indicating that these models belong to the same universality class.

Nonperturbative aspects of two-dimensional $T\bar{T}$-deformed scalar theory from functional renormalization group

We study $T\bar{T}$-deformed $O(N)$ scalar field theory in two-dimensional spacetime using the functional renormalization group. We derive the $β$ functions for the couplings in the system and explore the fixed points. In addition to the Gaussian (trivial) fixed point, we find a nontrivial fixed point at which a new universality class exists. The deformation parameter becomes relevant at the nontrivial fixed point. Therefore, the $T\bar T$-deformed scalar field theory in two-dimensional spacetime could be defined as a nonperturbatively renormalizable theory.

Path integral approach to universal dynamics of reservoir computers

In this work, we give a characterization of the reservoir computer (RC) by the network structure, especially the probability distribution of random coupling constants. First, based on the path integral method, we clarify the universal behavior of the random network dynamics in the thermodynamic limit, which depends only on the asymptotic behavior of the second cumulant generating functions of the network coupling constants. This result enables us to classify the random networks into several universality classes, according to the distribution function of coupling constants chosen for the networks. Interestingly, it is revealed that such a classification has a close relationship with the distribution of eigenvalues of the random coupling matrix. We also comment on the relation between our theory and some practical choices of random connectivity in the RC. Subsequently, we investigate the relationship between the RC's computational power and the network parameters for several universality classes. We perform several numerical simulations to evaluate the phase diagrams of the steady reservoir states, common-signal-induced synchronization, and the computational power in the chaotic time series inference tasks. As a result, we clarify the close relationship between these quantities, especially a remarkable computational performance near the phase transitions, which is realized even near a non-chaotic transition boundary. These results may provide us with a new perspective on the designing principle for the RC.

Fixed Point Structure of Gradient Flow Exact Renormalization Group for Scalar Field Theories

Gradient Flow Exact Renormalization Group (GFERG) is a framework to define the Wilson action via a gradient flow equation. We study the fixed point structure of the GFERG equation associated with a general gradient flow equation for scalar field theories and show that it is the same as that of the conventional Wilson-Polchinski (WP) equation in general. Furthermore, we discuss that the GFERG equation has a similar RG flow structure around a fixed point to the WP equation. We illustrate these results with the $O(N)$ non-linear sigma model in $4-ε$ dimensions and the Wilson-Fisher fixed point.

Burgers Equation vs. Large $N$ Limit in $T\bar{T}$-deformed $O(N)$ Vector Model

We study a $T\bar{T}$-deformed $O(N)$ vector model, which is classically equivalent to the Nambu-Goto action with static gauge. The thermal free energy density can be computed exactly by using the Burgers equation as a special property of $T\bar{T}$-deformation. The resulting expression is valid for an arbitrary value of $N$. One may consider a large $N$ limit while preserving this expression. We try to derive this result in the field-theoretical approach directly by employing the large $N$ limit. As a result, the leading contribution coincides with the exact one. That is, the $1/N$ corrections are cancelled out through a non-trivial mechanism.

Large N Analysis of $T\bar{T}$-deformation and Unavoidable Negative-norm States

We study non-perturbative quantum aspects of $T\bar{T}$-deformation of a free $O(N)$ vector model by employing the large $N$ limit. It is shown that bound states of the original field appear and inevitably become negative-norm states. In particular, the bound states can be regarded as the states of the conformal mode in a gravitational theory, where the Liouville action is induced with the coefficient proportional to the minus of central charge. To make the theory positive-definite, some modification is required so as to preserve diffeomorphism invariance due to the Faddeev-Popov ghosts with a negative central charge.

Weak scale from Planck scale -- Mass Scale Generation in Classically Conformal Two Scalar System --

In the standard model, the weak scale is the only parameter with mass dimensions. This means that the standard model itself can not explain the origin of the weak scale. On the other hand, from the results of recent accelerator experiments, except for some small corrections, the standard model has increased the possibility of being an effective theory up to the Planck scale. From these facts, it is naturally inferred that the weak scale is determined by some dynamics from the Planck scale. In order to answer this question, we rely on the multiple point criticality principle as a clue and consider the classically conformal $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant two scalar model as a minimal model in which the weak scale is generated dynamically from the Planck scale. This model contains only two real scalar fields and does not contain any fermions and gauge fields. In this model, due to Coleman-Weinberg-like mechanism, one scalar field spontaneously breaks the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry with a vacuum expectation value connected with the cutoff momentum. We investigate this using the 1-loop effective potential, renormalization group and large N limit. We also investigate whether it is possible to reproduce the mass term and vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field by coupling this model with the standard model in the Higgs portal framework. In this case, the one scalar field that does not break $\mathbb{Z}_2$ can be a candidate for dark matter, and have a mass of about several TeV in appropriate parameters. On the other hand, the other scalar field breaks $\mathbb{Z}_2$ and has a mass of several tens of GeV. These results can be verified in near future experiments.
