Non-invertible symmetries and LSM-type constraints on a tensor product Hilbert space

N Seiberg, S Seifnashri, SH Shao - SciPost Physics, 2024 - scipost.org
We discuss the exact non-invertible Kramers-Wannier symmetry of 1+ 1d lattice models on a
tensor product Hilbert space of qubits. This symmetry is associated with a topological defect …

Defining stable phases of open quantum systems

T Rakovszky, S Gopalakrishnan, C Von Keyserlingk - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
The steady states of dynamical processes can exhibit stable nontrivial phases, which can
also serve as fault-tolerant classical or quantum memories. For Markovian quantum …

Reviving the Lieb–Schultz–Mattis theorem in open quantum systems

YN Zhou, X Li, H Zhai, C Li, Y Gu - National Science Review, 2025 - academic.oup.com
In closed systems, the celebrated Lieb–Schultz–Mattis (LSM) theorem states that a one-
dimensional locally interacting half-integer spin chain with translation and spin rotation …

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in open quantum systems: strong, weak, and strong-to-weak

D Gu, Z Wang, Z Wang - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.19381, 2024 - arxiv.org
Depending on the coupling to the environment, symmetries of open quantum systems
manifest in two distinct forms, the strong and the weak. We study the spontaneous symmetry …

Anomalies of average symmetries: Entanglement and open quantum systems

PS Hsin, ZX Luo, HY Sun - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract Symmetries and their anomalies are powerful tools for understanding quantum
systems. However, realistic systems are often subject to disorders, dissipation and …

Intrinsic symmetry-protected topological mixed state from modulated symmetries and hierarchical structure of boundary anomaly

Y You, M Oshikawa - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We introduce a class of intrinsic symmetry-protected topological mixed state (mSPT) in open
quantum systems that feature modulated symmetries, such as dipole and subsystem …

Symmetry protected topological phases of mixed states in the doubled space

R Ma, A Turzillo - arXiv preprint arXiv:2403.13280, 2024 - arxiv.org
The interplay of symmetry and topology in quantum many-body mixed states has recently
garnered significant interest. In a phenomenon not seen in pure states, mixed states can …

Decoherence and wavefunction deformation of non-Abelian topological order

P Sala, J Alicea, R Verresen - arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.12948, 2024 - arxiv.org
The effect of decoherence on topological order (TO) has been most deeply understood for
the toric code, the paragon of Abelian TOs. We show that certain non-Abelian TOs can be …
