- Abstract summary: A major challenge is the reliability of gauge-protection schemes in non-Abelian gauge theories.
We use gauge-protection terms that energetically stabilize the target gauge sector in Hilbert space.
We show for certain experimentally relevant errors that single-body protection terms robustly suppress gauge violations up to all accessible evolution times.

- Abstract: Protection of gauge invariance in experimental realizations of lattice gauge
theories based on energy-penalty schemes has recently stimulated impressive
efforts both theoretically and in setups of quantum synthetic matter. A major
challenge is the reliability of such schemes in non-Abelian gauge theories
where local conservation laws do not commute. Here, we show through exact
diagonalization that non-Abelian gauge invariance can be reliably controlled
using gauge-protection terms that energetically stabilize the target gauge
sector in Hilbert space, suppressing gauge violations due to unitary
gauge-breaking errors. We present analytic arguments that predict a
volume-independent protection strength $V$, which when sufficiently large leads
to the emergence of an \textit{adjusted} gauge theory with the same local gauge
symmetry up to least a timescale $\propto\sqrt{V/V_0^3}$. Thereafter, a
\textit{renormalized} gauge theory dominates up to a timescale
$\propto\exp(V/V_0)/V_0$ with $V_0$ a volume-independent energy factor, similar
to the case of faulty Abelian gauge theories. Moreover, we show for certain
experimentally relevant errors that single-body protection terms robustly
suppress gauge violations up to all accessible evolution times in exact
diagonalization, and demonstrate that the adjusted gauge theory emerges in this
case as well. These single-body protection terms can be readily implemented
with fewer engineering requirements than the ideal gauge theory itself in
current ultracold-atom setups and NISQ devices.

- Measurement incompatibility is strictly stronger than disturbance [44.99833362998488]
Heisenberg argued that measurements irreversibly alter the state of the system on which they are acting, causing an irreducible disturbance on subsequent measurements.
This article shows that measurement incompatibility is indeed a sufficient condition for irreversibility of measurement disturbance.
However, we exhibit a toy theory, termed the minimal classical theory (MCT), that is a counterexample for the converse implication.

We show that in the presence of a gauge invariance-breaking term the gauge violation accumulates only perturbatively at short times before proliferating only at very long times.
This proliferation can be suppressed up to infinite times by energetically penalizing processes that drive the dynamics away from the initial gauge-invariant sector.
Our results highlight a surprising robustness of gauge-theory quantum simulators.
