• Title: Discrete Abelian lattice gauge theories on a ladder and their dualities with quantum clock models
• Authors: Sunny Pradhan, Andrea Maroncelli, Elisa Ercolessi
• Abstract summary: We study a duality transformation from the gauge-invariant subspace of a $mathbbZ_N$ lattice gauge theory to an $N$-clock model on a single chain. The main feature of this mapping is the emergence of a longitudinal field in the clock model, whose value depends on the superselection sector of the gauge model.

• Abstract: We study a duality transformation from the gauge-invariant subspace of a $\mathbb{Z}_N$ lattice gauge theory on a two-leg ladder geometry to an $N$-clock model on a single chain. The main feature of this mapping is the emergence of a longitudinal field in the clock model, whose value depends on the superselection sector of the gauge model, implying that the different sectors of the gauge theory can show quite different phase diagrams. In order to investigate this and see if confined phases might emerge, we perform a numerical analysis for $N = 2, 3, 4$, using exact diagonalization and DMRG.

  We propose a novel variational ansatz for the ground-state preparation of the $mathbbZ$ lattice gauge theory (LGT) in quantum simulators. It combines dissipative and unitary operations in a completely deterministic scheme with a circuit depth that does not scale with the size of the considered lattice. We find that, with very few variational parameters, the ansatz can achieve $>!99%$ precision in energy in both the confined and deconfined phase of the $mathbbZ$ LGT.

  Key aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence can be captured in terms of tensor network models on hyperbolic lattices. For tensors fulfilling the matchgate constraint, these have previously been shown to produce disordered boundary states. We show that these Hamiltonians exhibit multi-scale quasiperiodic symmetries captured by an analytical toy model.
