• Abstract summary: We show that it is possible to engineer the symmetries of its Hamiltonian in order to keep quantum information intrinsically protected from relaxation and decoherence. Such a qubit chain can be realized using a simple architecture consisting of a relatively small number of superconducting Josephson junctions.

• Abstract: Symmetry considerations are key towards our understanding of the fundamental laws of Nature. The presence of a symmetry implies that a physical system is invariant under specific transformations and this invariance may have deep consequences. For instance, symmetry arguments state that a system will remain in its initial state if incentives to actions are equally balanced. Here, we apply this principle to a chain of qubits and show that it is possible to engineer the symmetries of its Hamiltonian in order to keep quantum information intrinsically protected from both relaxation and decoherence. We show that the coherence properties of this system are strongly enhanced relative to those of its individual components. Such a qubit chain can be realized using a simple architecture consisting of a relatively small number of superconducting Josephson junctions.

  interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort. We show that one can introduce a class of solvable states, which extends that of generic dual unitary circuits. In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite temperature state, these states relax to a family of non-trivial generalised Gibbs ensembles.

  We study the quantum Mpemba effect in charge-preserving random circuits on qudits via entanglement asymmetry. We show that the more asymmetric certain classes of initial states are, the faster they restore symmetry and reach the grand-canonical ensemble. Our results represent a significant advancement in clarifying the emergence of Mpemba physics in generic systems.

• Entanglement asymmetry and quantum Mpemba effect in the XY spin chain [0.0]
  Entanglement asymmetry is a quantity introduced to measure how much a symmetry is broken in a part of an extended quantum system. We study the entanglement asymmetry at equilibrium taking the ground state of the XY spin chain. We find that the power law governing symmetry restoration depends discontinuously on whether the initial state is critical or not.
