Quantum memories at finite temperature

BJ Brown, D Loss, JK Pachos, CN Self… - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2016 - APS
To use quantum systems for technological applications one first needs to preserve their
coherence for macroscopic time scales, even at finite temperature. Quantum error correction …

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 …

Fracton topological order, generalized lattice gauge theory, and duality

S Vijay, J Haah, L Fu - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We introduce a generalization of conventional lattice gauge theory to describe fracton
topological phases, which are characterized by immobile, pointlike topological excitations …

A new kind of topological quantum order: A dimensional hierarchy of quasiparticles built from stationary excitations

S Vijay, J Haah, L Fu - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
We introduce exactly solvable models of interacting (Majorana) fermions in d≥ 3 spatial
dimensions that realize a new kind of fermion topological quantum order, building on a …

Fracton topological order via coupled layers

H Ma, E Lake, X Chen, M Hermele - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
In this work, we develop a coupled layer construction of fracton topological orders in d= 3
spatial dimensions. These topological phases have subextensive topological ground-state …

Towards classification of Fracton phases: the multipole algebra

A Gromov - Physical Review X, 2019 - APS
We present an effective field theory approach to the fracton phases. The approach is based
on the notion of a multipole algebra. It is an extension of space (time) symmetries of a …

Glassy quantum dynamics in translation invariant fracton models

A Prem, J Haah, R Nandkishore - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We investigate relaxation in the recently discovered “fracton” models and discover that these
models naturally host glassy quantum dynamics in the absence of quenched disorder. We …

Fractal symmetries: Ungauging the cubic code

DJ Williamson - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
Gauging is a ubiquitous tool in many-body physics. It allows one to construct highly
entangled topological phases of matter from relatively simple phases and to relate certain …

Quantum self-correction in the 3d cubic code model

S Bravyi, J Haah - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
A big open question in the quantum information theory concerns the feasibility of a self-
correcting quantum memory. A quantum state recorded in such memory can be stored …

(2+ 1)-dimensional compact Lifshitz theory, tensor gauge theory, and fractons

P Gorantla, HT Lam, N Seiberg, SH Shao - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The (2+ 1)-dimensional continuum Lifshitz theory of a free compact scalar field plays a
prominent role in a variety of quantum systems in condensed matter physics and high …
