Hierarchy of topological order from finite-depth unitaries, measurement, and feedforward

N Tantivasadakarn, A Vishwanath, R Verresen - PRX Quantum, 2023 - APS
Long-range entanglement—the backbone of topologically ordered states—cannot be
created in finite time using local unitary circuits, or, equivalently, adiabatic state preparation …

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 …

Parallelized quantum error correction with fracton topological codes

BJ Brown, DJ Williamson - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
Fracton topological phases have a large number of materialized symmetries that enforce a
rigid structure on their excitations. Remarkably, we find that the symmetries of a quantum …
