• Abstract: Symmetry is among the most fundamental and powerful concepts in nature, whose existence is usually taken as given, without explanation. We explore whether symmetry can be derived from more fundamental principles from the perspective of quantum information. Starting with a two-qubit system, we show there are only two minimally entangling logic gates: the Identity and the SWAP, where SWAP interchanges the two states of the qubits. We further demonstrate that, when viewed as an entanglement operator in the spin-space, the $S$-matrix in the two-body scattering of fermions in the $s$-wave channel is uniquely determined by unitarity and rotational invariance to be a linear combination of the Identity and the SWAP. Realizing a minimally entangling $S$-matrix would give rise to global symmetries, as exemplified in Wigner's spin-flavor symmetry and Schr\"odinger's conformal invariance in low energy Quantum Chromodynamics. For $N_q$ species of qubit, the Identity gate is associated with an $[SU(2)]^{N_q}$ symmetry, which is enlarged to $SU(2N_q)$ when there is a species-universal coupling constant.

  We investigate an ensemble consisting of $N$ four-level atoms within an optical cavity coupled to the single cavity mode and external laser fields. Some novel phases characterized by the phase differences between the polarized cavity field or the atomic spin excitation and the Raman laser are found analytically. It is found that besides the continuous $U(1)$ and discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetries, the system also exhibits two reflection symmetries $sigma_v$s, a central symmetry $C$ in the abstract position-momentum representation, and a discrete reflection-time symmetry

  We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.
