Matrix product states and projected entangled pair states: Concepts, symmetries, theorems

JI Cirac, D Perez-Garcia, N Schuch, F Verstraete - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
The theory of entanglement provides a fundamentally new language for describing
interactions and correlations in many-body systems. Its vocabulary consists of qubits and …

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 …

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 …

Quantum spin liquids: a review

L Savary, L Balents - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Quantum spin liquids may be considered'quantum disordered'ground states of spin systems,
in which zero-point fluctuations are so strong that they prevent conventional magnetic long …

Efficient learning of ground and thermal states within phases of matter

C Rouzé, D Stilck França, E Onorati… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
We consider two related tasks:(a) estimating a parameterisation of a given Gibbs state and
expectation values of Lipschitz observables on this state;(b) learning the expectation values …

Undecidability of the spectral gap

TS Cubitt, D Perez-Garcia, MM Wolf - Nature, 2015 - nature.com
The spectral gap—the energy difference between the ground state and first excited state of a
system—is central to quantum many-body physics. Many challenging open problems, such …

Topology by dissipation

CE Bardyn, MA Baranov, CV Kraus, E Rico… - New Journal of …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Topological states of fermionic matter can be induced by means of a suitably engineered
dissipative dynamics. Dissipation then does not occur as a perturbation, but rather as the …

Quantum advantage and stability to errors in analogue quantum simulators

R Trivedi, A Franco Rubio, JI Cirac - Nature Communications, 2024 - nature.com
Several quantum hardware platforms, while being unable to perform fully fault-tolerant
quantum computation, can still be operated as analogue quantum simulators for addressing …

Strictly linear light cones in long-range interacting systems of arbitrary dimensions

T Kuwahara, K Saito - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
In locally interacting quantum many-body systems, the velocity of information propagation is
finitely bounded, and a linear light cone can be defined. Outside the light cone, the amount …

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 …
