• Abstract: We study a mechanism whereby quantum information present in the initial state of a quantum many-body system can be protected for arbitrary times due to a combination of symmetry and spatial locality. Remarkably, the mechanism is sufficiently generic that the dynamics can be fully ergodic upon resolving the protecting symmetry and fixing the encoded quantum state, resulting in an infinite-temperature quantum memory. After exemplifying the mechanism in a strongly nonintegrable two-dimensional (2D) spin model inspired by the surface code, we find it has a natural interpretation in the language of noiseless subsystems and stabilizer subsystem codes. This interpretation yields a number of further examples, including a nonintegrable Hamiltonian with quantum memory based on the Bacon-Shor code. The lifetime of the encoded quantum information in these models is infinite provided the dynamics respect the stabilizer symmetry of the underlying subsystem code. In the presence of symmetry-violating perturbations, we make contact with previous work leveraging the concept of prethermalization to show that the encoded quantum information retains a parametrically long lifetime under dynamics with an enlarged continuous symmetry group. We identify conditions on the underlying subsystem code that enable such a prethermal enhancement of the memory lifetime.

  This paper is concerned with open quantum harmonic oscillators (OQHOs) described by linear quantum differential equations. In a more realistic case of system-environment coupling, we define a memory decoherence horizon as a typical time for a mean-square deviation of the system variables. We consider the decoherence time over the energy and coupling matrix of the OQHO as a memory system in its storage phase and obtain a condition under which the zero Hamiltonian delivers a suboptimal solution.

We show robustness of certain aspects of $ZZtimes Z$ symmetry-protected trajectory (SPT) order against a wide class of dissipation channels. Our work thus proposes a novel framework to study the dynamics of dissipative SPT phases.

Overall, the Q-information sheds light on novel aspects of the internal organisation of quantum systems and their time evolution.

• Multidimensional dark space and its underlying symmetries: towards dissipation-protected qubits [62.997667081978825]
  We show that a controlled interaction with the environment may help to create a state, dubbed as em dark'', which is immune to decoherence. To encode quantum information in the dark states, they need to span a space with a dimensionality larger than one, so different states act as a computational basis. This approach offers new possibilities for storing, protecting and manipulating quantum information in open systems.
