• Abstract summary: We show that under a global symmetry, any attempt to induce local dynamics that change the conserved quantity will cause inevitable irreversibility. In the context of thermodynamics, we derive a trade-off relation between entropy production and quantum coherence. As an application to quantum information processing, we provide a lower bound on the coherence cost to implement an arbitrary quantum channel.

• Abstract: Symmetry, irreversibility, and quantum coherence are foundational concepts in physics. Here, we present a universal trade-off relation that builds a bridge between these three concepts. This trade-off particularly reveals that (1) under a global symmetry, any attempt to induce local dynamics that change the conserved quantity will cause inevitable irreversibility, and (2) such irreversibility could be mitigated by quantum coherence. Our fundamental relation also admits broad applications in physics and quantum information processing. In the context of thermodynamics, we derive a trade-off relation between entropy production and quantum coherence in arbitrary isothermal processes. We also apply our relation to black hole physics and obtain a universal lower bound on how many bits of classical information thrown into a black hole become unreadable under the Hayden-Preskill model with the energy conservation law. This particularly shows that when the black hole is large enough, under suitable encoding, at least about $m/4$ bits of the thrown $m$ bits will be irrecoverable until 99 percent of the black hole evaporates. As an application to quantum information processing, we provide a lower bound on the coherence cost to implement an arbitrary quantum channel. We employ this bound to obtain a quantitative Wigner-Araki-Yanase theorem that comes with a clear operational meaning, as well as an error-coherence trade-off for unitary gate implementation and an error lower bound for approximate error correction with covariant encoding. Our main relation is based on quantum uncertainty relation, showcasing intimate connections between fundamental physical principles and ultimate operational capability.

  A fundamental question in quantum information theory is whether an analogous second law can be formulated to characterize the convertibility of resources for quantum information processing by a single function. In 2008, a promising formulation was proposed, linking resource convertibility to the optimal performance of a variant of the quantum version of hypothesis testing. In 2023, a logical gap was found in the original proof of this lemma, casting doubt on the possibility of such a formulation of the second law.

  Storing quantum information requires battling quantum decoherence, which results in a loss of information over time. To achieve error-resistant quantum memory, one would like to store the information in a quantum superposition of degenerate states engineered in such a way that local sources of noise cannot change one state into another. We show that this platform also allows to detect and correct certain types of errors en route to the goal of true error-resistant quantum memory.

• Simple Tests of Quantumness Also Certify Qubits [69.96668065491183]
  A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical. We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain template, which captures recent proposals such as (Kalai et al., 2022) can in fact do much more. Namely, the same protocols can be used for certifying a qubit, a building-block that stands at the heart of applications such as certifiable randomness and classical delegation of quantum computation.

• Achieving the quantum field theory limit in far-from-equilibrium quantum link models [0.0]
  A fundamental question regarding quantum link model regularizations of lattice gauge theories is how faithfully they capture the quantum field theory limit of gauge theories. Here, we show that the approach to this limit also lends itself to the far-from-equilibrium dynamics of lattice gauge theories. Our results further affirm that state-of-the-art finite-size ultracold-atom and NISQ-device implementations of quantum link lattice gauge theories have the real potential to simulate their quantum field theory limit even in the far-from-equilibrium regime.

  We show limitations on the information recovery from scrambling dynamics with arbitrary Lie group symmetries. We rigorously prove that under the energy conservation law, the error of the information recovery from a small black hole remains unignorably large until it completely evaporates. The relations also provide a unified view of the symmetry restrictions on quantum information processing.

  Fusion-based quantum computing (FBQC) is a model of universal quantum computation in which entangling measurements, called fusions, are performed on qubits of small constant-sized entangled resource states. We introduce a stabilizer formalism for analyzing fault tolerance and computation in these schemes. This framework naturally captures the error structure that arises in certain physical systems for quantum computing, such as photonics.
