• Authors: Gabriel Champagne, Nathaniel Johnston, Mitchell MacDonald, Logan Pipes
• Abstract summary: We introduce and explore two questions concerning spectra of operators that are of interest in the theory of entanglement in symmetric quantum systems. First, we investigate the inverse eigenvalue problem for symmetric entanglement witnesses -- that is, we investigate what their possible spectra are. Second, we investigate the problem of characterizing which separable symmetric quantum states remain separable after conjugation by an arbitrary unitary acting on symmetric space -- that is, which states are separable in every orthonormal symmetric basis.

• Abstract: We introduce and explore two questions concerning spectra of operators that are of interest in the theory of entanglement in symmetric (i.e., bosonic) quantum systems. First, we investigate the inverse eigenvalue problem for symmetric entanglement witnesses -- that is, we investigate what their possible spectra are. Second, we investigate the problem of characterizing which separable symmetric quantum states remain separable after conjugation by an arbitrary unitary acting on symmetric space -- that is, which states are separable in every orthonormal symmetric basis. Both of these questions have been investigated thoroughly in the non-symmetric setting, and we contrast the answers that we find with their non-symmetric counterparts.

  Identifying symmetries in quantum dynamics is a crucial challenge with profound implications for quantum technologies. We introduce a unified framework combining group representation theory and subgroup hypothesis testing to predict these symmetries with optimal efficiency. We prove that parallel strategies achieve the same performance as adaptive or indefinite-causal-order protocols.

  We investigate whether open quantum systems hosting mixed-state symmetry-protected topological states as steady states retain this property under symmetric perturbations. We find that typical symmetric perturbations cause strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking at arbitrarily small perturbations, destabilize the steady-state mixed-state symmetry-protected topological order. We construct a quantum channel which replicates the essential physics of the Lindbladian and can be efficiently simulated using only Clifford gates, Pauli measurements, and feedback.

  In quantum mechanics, it is possible to eliminate degrees of freedom by leveraging symmetry to identify the possible physical transitions.

We develop alternative symmetry testing quantum algorithms that are efficiently implementable on quantum computers.

• Theory of Quantum Circuits with Abelian Symmetries [0.0]
  Generic unitaries respecting a global symmetry cannot be realized, even approximately, using gates that respect the same symmetry. We show that while the locality of interactions still imposes additional constraints on realizable unitaries, certain restrictions do not apply to circuits with Abelian symmetries. This result suggests that global non-Abelian symmetries may affect the thermalization of quantum systems in ways not possible under Abelian symmetries.

  We report a novel spontaneous symmetry breaking phenomenon and ghost states existed in the framework of the fractional nonlinear Schr"odinger (FNLS) equation. The continuous asymmetric soliton branch bifurcates from the fundamental symmetric one as the power exceeds some critical value. We explore the elastic/semi-elastic collision phenomena between symmetric and asymmetric solitons.

• Symmetry operators of the asymmetric two-photon quantum Rabi model [0.0]
  The true level crossings in a subspace of the asymmetric two-photon quantum Rabi model (tpQRM) have been observed when the bias parameter of qubit is an even multiple of the renormalized cavity frequency. We propose a Bogoliubov operator approach (BOA) for the asymmetric tpQRM to derive the symmetry operators associated with the hidden symmetry hierarchically.

• Latent symmetry induced degeneracies [0.0]
  We develop an approach to explain degeneracies by tracing them back to symmetries of an isospectral effective Hamiltonian. As an application, we relate the degeneracies induced by the rotation symmetry of a real Hamiltonian to a non-abelian latent symmetry group.

• Hidden symmetry and tunnelling dynamics in asymmetric quantum Rabi models [0.0]
  The asymmetric quantum Rabi model (AQRM) has a broken $mathbbZ$ symmetry, with generally a non-degenerate eigenvalue spectrum. This unknown "symmetry" has thus been referred to as hidden symmetry in the literature. We show that this hidden symmetry is not limited to the AQRM, but exists in various related light-matter interaction models with an asymmetric qubit bias term.
