• Abstract: A highly coveted goal is to realize emergent non-Abelian gauge theories and their anyonic excitations, which encode decoherence-free quantum information. While measurements in quantum devices provide new hope for scalably preparing such long-range entangled states, existing protocols using the experimentally established ingredients of a finite-depth circuit and a single round of measurement produce only Abelian states. Surprisingly, we show there exists a broad family of non-Abelian states -- namely those with a Lagrangian subgroup -- which can be created using these same minimal ingredients, bypassing the need for new resources such as feed-forward. To illustrate that this provides realistic protocols, we show how $D_4$ non-Abelian topological order can be realized, e.g., on Google's quantum processors using a depth-11 circuit and a single layer of measurements. Our work opens the way towards the realization and manipulation of non-Abelian topological orders, and highlights counter-intuitive features of the complexity of non-Abelian phases.

  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.

  We propose a scheme for detecting the hidden off-diagonal long-range order (HODLRO) characterizing Laughlin states. This is achieved by large-scale numerical density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) simulations based on matrix product states. We confirm the characteristic power-law scaling of HODLRO, with an exponent $frac1nu = 2$, and show that its detection requires only a few thousand snapshots.

• Hierarchy of topological order from finite-depth unitaries, measurement and feedforward [0.0]
  Single-site measurements provide a loophole, allowing for finite-time state preparation in certain cases. We show how this observation imposes a complexity hierarchy on long-range entangled states based on the minimal number of measurement layers required to create the state, which we call "shots" This hierarchy paints a new picture of the landscape of long-range entangled states, with practical implications for quantum simulators.

• Measurement as a shortcut to long-range entangled quantum matter [0.0]
  We introduce three classes of local adaptive circuits that enable low-depth preparation of long-range entangled quantum matter. A large class of topological orders, including chiral topological order, can be prepared in constant depth or time. A large class of CFT states and non-abelian topological orders with both solvable and non-solvable groups can be prepared in depth scaling logarithmically with system size.

  Quantum Hall systems are characterized by the quantization of the Hall conductance -- a bulk property rooted in the topological structure of the underlying quantum states. Here, we realize a quantum Hall system using ultracold dysprosium atoms, in a two-dimensional geometry formed by one spatial dimension. We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
