Locally purified maximally mixed states at scale: Entanglement pruning and symmetries

Locally Purified Density Operators (LPDOs) are state-of-the-art tensor network ansatze candidates that efficiently represent mixed quantum states at scale. However, given their non-uniqueness, their representational complexity is generally sub-optimal in practical computations. Here, in this work we perform a comprehensive numerical and analytical analysis and resolve this issue in the experimentally relevant limit where noise depolarizes the density operator into a maximally mixed state. To resolve the sub-optimality issue, we analyze two numerical tools, one analytic method, and detail the relations between them. The numerical tools used are fidelity-preserving truncations and isometric gauge transformations leveraging Riemannian optimizations over entropic objective functions. In addition, by invoking the injectivity and symmetry constraints of the maximally mixed LPDO, we also present analytical closed-form expressions for the disentangler and discuss their relation to numerical optimizers. Further, away from the maximally mixed state, our simulations highlight how the truncation threshold smoothly interpolate, as a function of depolarization, between established matrix product results and our new results. Our work shows how, by minimizing the resources required to represent key states of practical interest in experiment, the efficiency of tensor network algorithms can be substantially increased. This paves the path for uncovering tensor network’s fundamental scalability limits and latent potential in representing the wide locus of mixed quantum states that are accessible on near-term quantum devices.

Covariant Quantum Error-Correcting Codes with Metrological Entanglement Advantage

Here, we show that a subset of the basis for the irreducible representations of a tensor-product SU(2) rotation forms a covariant approximate quantum error-correcting code with transversal U(1) logical gates. Generalizing previous work on “thermodynamic codes” to general local spin and different irreducible representations using only properties of the angular momentum algebra, we obtain bounds on the code inaccuracy under generic noise on any known 𝑑 sites, under independent and identically distributed noise, and under heralded 𝑑-local erasures. We demonstrate that this family of codes protects a probe state with quantum Fisher information surpassing the standard quantum limit when the sensing parameter couples to the generator of the U(1) logical gate.

Tracking the evolution from isolated dimers to many-body entanglement in $\mathrm{NaLu}_x \mathrm{Yb}_{1-x}\mathrm{Se_2}$

Here, we synthesize homogeneous compositions of NaLu x Yb 1-x Se 2 , connecting nonmagnetic NaLuSe 2 to the triangular lattice spin liquid candidate NaYbSe 2 . Thermal and magnetic properties are studied as the system evolves from one with dilute magnetic defects to one of a dense magnetic lattice. The field- and temperature-dependent heat capacity show the carriers of entropy cross over from isolated magnetic ions to a correlated lattice born from spin dimers. For the dilute system we estimate the single-ion anisotropy (g ⟂ /g ∥ =3.13) and also the dimer exchange couplings J ⟂ (=5.4 K) and J ⟂ (=9.6 K), in order to draw comparison to the half-doped and full magnetic compounds.

Quantum phase transitions in a model Hamiltonian exhibiting entangled simultaneous fermion-pair and exciton condensations

Quantum states of a novel Bose-Einstein condensate, in which both fermion-pair and exciton condensations are simultaneously present, have recently been realized theoretically in a model Hamiltonian system. Here, in this study, we identify quantum phase transitions in that model between fermion-pair and exciton condensations based on a geometric analysis of the convex set of ground-state two-particle reduced density matrices (2-RDMs). The 2-RDM set provides a finite representation of the infinite parameter space of Hamiltonians that readily reveals a fermion-pair condensate phase and two distinct exciton condensate phases, as well as the emergence of first- and second-order phase transitions as the particle number of the system is increased. The set, furthermore, shows that the fermion-exciton condensate (FEC) lies along the second-order phase transition between the exciton and fermion-pair condensate phases. The detailed information about the exciton and fermion-pair phases, the forces behind these phases, as well as their associated transitions provides additional insight into the formation of the FEC condensate, which we anticipate will prove useful in its experimental realization.
