• Abstract: Efficient quantum simulation protocols for any quantum theories demand efficient protection protocols for its underlying symmetries. This task is nontrivial for gauge theories as it is involves local symmetry/invariance. For non-Abelian gauge theories, protecting all the symmetries generated by a set of mutually non-commuting generators, is particularly difficult. In this letter, a global symmetry-protection protocol is proposed. Using the novel loop-string-hadron formalism of non-Abelian lattice gauge theory, we numerically demonstrate that all of the local symmetries get protected even for large time by this global symmetry protection scheme. With suitable protection strength, the dynamics of a (1+1)-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory remains confined in the physical Hilbert space of the theory even in presence of explicit local symmetry violating terms in the Hamiltonian that may occur in both analog and digital simulation schemes as an error. The whole scheme holds for SU(3) gauge theory as well.

  We explore exact generalized symmetries in the standard 2+1d lattice $mathbbZ$ gauge theory coupled to the Ising model. One model has a (non-anomalous) non-invertible symmetry, and we identify two distinct non-invertible symmetry protected topological phases. We discuss how the symmetries and anomalies in these two models are related by gauging, which is a 2+1d version of the Kennedy-Tasaki transformation.

  Previous work has demonstrated that quantum simulation of abelian lattice gauge theories can be achieved by local adaptive measurements. In this work, we explicitly demonstrate the anomaly inflow mechanism between the deconfining phase of the simulated gauge theory on the boundary and the SPT state in the bulk. We construct the resource state and the measurement pattern for the measurement-based quantum simulation of a lattice gauge theory with a matter field.

  We propose a novel generative model, Latent LieGAN, which can discover symmetries of nonlinear group actions. We show that our model can express nonlinear symmetries under some conditions about the group action. LaLiGAN also results in a well-structured latent space that is useful for downstream tasks including equation discovery and long-term forecasting.

  We study the case of $3D$ $mathrmU(1)$ pure gauge theory, simulating the staggered case numerically in its dual formulation. We find evidence of a continuum limit with a spontaneously broken $bbZ$ single-site symmetry, in contrast to the ordinary theory. Moreover, the confining string fractionalizes into multiple strands which separate spatial regions in distinct ground states of the broken symmetry.

  We introduce quantum algorithms that can efficiently simulate certain classes of interactions consisting of correlated changes in multiple quantum numbers. The lattice gauge theory studied is the SU(2) gauge theory in 1+1 dimensions coupled to one flavor of staggered fermions. The algorithms are shown to be applicable to higher-dimensional theories as well as to other Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories.
