Abstract: We introduce Weyl Josephson circuits: small Josephson junction circuits that simulate Weyl band structures. We first formulate a general approach to design circuits that are analogous to Bloch Hamiltonians of a desired dimensionality and symmetry class. We then construct and analyze a six-junction device that produces a 3D Weyl Hamiltonian with broken inversion symmetry and in which topological phase transitions can be triggered \emph{in situ}. We argue that currently available superconducting circuit technology allows experiments that probe topological properties inaccessible in condensed matter systems.

We introduce the BCS ground-space as a subspace of the full fermionic Hilbert space. We show that projecting the electronic Hamiltonian onto this subspace yields the standard Hamiltonian terms for junctions, capacitors and inductors.

Spectral Signatures of Non-Trivial Topology in a Superconducting Circuit [0.0]
We show that a superconducting circuit with three Josephson tunnel junctions in parallel can possess degeneracies indicative of nontrivial topology. Measurements show that devices fabricated in different topological regimes fall on a simple phase diagram which should be robust to junction imperfections and geometric inductance.

Flux-charge symmetric theory of superconducting circuits [0.0]
We present a theory of circuit quantization that treats charges and flux on a manifestly symmetric footing. For planar circuits, known circuit dualities are a natural canonical transformation on the classical phase space. We discuss the extent to which such circuit dualities generalize to non-planar circuits.

Third quantization of open quantum systems: new dissipative symmetries and connections to phase-space and Keldysh field theory formulations [77.34726150561087]
We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

Algebraic Compression of Quantum Circuits for Hamiltonian Evolution [52.77024349608834]
Unitary evolution under a time dependent Hamiltonian is a key component of simulation on quantum hardware. We present an algorithm that compresses the Trotter steps into a single block of quantum gates. This results in a fixed depth time evolution for certain classes of Hamiltonians.

A superconducting circuit realization of combinatorial gauge symmetry [0.0]
We propose a superconducting quantum circuit based on a general principle -- gauge symmetry -- designed to emulate topologically-ordered quantum liquids. A key feature of the exact gauge symmetry is that amplitudes connecting different $mathbb Z$ loop states arise from paths having zero classical energy cost.

Hardware-Encoding Grid States in a Non-Reciprocal Superconducting Circuit [62.997667081978825]
We present a circuit design composed of a non-reciprocal device and Josephson junctions whose ground space is doubly degenerate and the ground states are approximate codewords of the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code. We find that the circuit is naturally protected against the common noise channels in superconducting circuits, such as charge and flux noise, implying that it can be used for passive quantum error correction.
