Mixed-state quantum phases: Renormalization and quantum error correction

S Sang, Y Zou, TH Hsieh - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
Open system quantum dynamics can generate a variety of long-range entangled mixed
states, yet it has been unclear in what sense they constitute phases of matter. To establish …

Mixed-state long-range order and criticality from measurement and feedback

TC Lu, Z Zhang, S Vijay, TH Hsieh - PRX Quantum, 2023 - APS
We propose a general framework for using local measurements, local unitaries, and
nonlocal classical communication to construct quantum channels, which can efficiently …

Separability transitions in topological states induced by local decoherence

YH Chen, T Grover - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We study states with intrinsic topological order subjected to local decoherence from the
perspective of separability, ie, whether a decohered mixed state can be expressed as an …

Symmetry-enforced many-body separability transitions

YH Chen, T Grover - PRX Quantum, 2024 - APS
We study quantum many-body mixed states with a symmetry from the perspective of
separability, ie, whether a mixed state can be expressed as an ensemble of short-range …

Disentangling transitions in topological order induced by boundary decoherence

TC Lu - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We study the entanglement structure of topological orders subject to decoherence on the
bipartition boundary. Focusing on the toric codes in d space dimensions for d= 2, 3, 4, we …

Quantum criticality under imperfect teleportation

P Sala, S Murciano, Y Liu, J Alicea - PRX Quantum, 2024 - APS
Entanglement, measurement, and classical communication together enable teleportation of
quantum states between distant parties, in principle, with perfect fidelity. To what extent do …

The -function and defect changing operators from wavefunction overlap on a fuzzy sphere

Z Zhou, D Gaiotto, YC He, Y Zou - SciPost Physics, 2024 - scipost.org
Defects are common in physical systems with boundaries, impurities or extensive
measurements. The interaction between bulk and defect can lead to rich physical …

Measurement-altered Ising quantum criticality

S Murciano, P Sala, Y Liu, RSK Mong, J Alicea - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
Quantum critical systems constitute appealing platforms for exploring novel measurement-
induced phenomena due to their innate sensitivity to perturbations. We study the impact of …

Entanglement in a one-dimensional critical state after measurements

Z Yang, D Mao, CM Jian - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The entanglement entropy (EE) of the ground state of a one-dimensional Hamiltonian at
criticality has a universal logarithmic scaling with a prefactor given by the central charge c of …

System-environment entanglement phase transitions

Y Ashida, S Furukawa, M Oshikawa - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Entanglement in quantum many-body systems can exhibit universal phenomena governed
by long-distance properties. We study universality and phase transitions of the entanglement …
