• Title: Asymptotically isometric codes for holography
• Authors: Thomas Faulkner and Min Li
• Abstract summary: The holographic principle suggests that the low energy effective field theory of gravity has far too many states. It is then natural that any quantum error correcting code with such a quantum field theory as the code subspace is not isometric. We show that an isometric code can be recovered in the $N rightarrow infty$ limit when acting on fixed states in the code Hilbert space.

• Abstract: The holographic principle suggests that the low energy effective field theory of gravity, as used to describe perturbative quantum fields about some background has far too many states. It is then natural that any quantum error correcting code with such a quantum field theory as the code subspace is not isometric. We discuss how this framework can naturally arise in an algebraic QFT treatment of a family of CFT with a large-$N$ limit described by the single trace sector. We show that an isometric code can be recovered in the $N \rightarrow \infty$ limit when acting on fixed states in the code Hilbert space. Asymptotically isometric codes come equipped with the notion of simple operators and nets of causal wedges. While the causal wedges are additive, they need not satisfy Haag duality, thus leading to the possibility of non-trivial entanglement wedge reconstructions. Codes with complementary recovery are defined as having extensions to Haag dual nets, where entanglement wedges are well defined for all causal boundary regions. We prove an asymptotic version of the information disturbance trade-off theorem and use this to show that boundary theory causality is maintained by net extensions. We give a characterization of the existence of an entanglement wedge extension via the asymptotic equality of bulk and boundary relative entropy or modular flow. While these codes are asymptotically exact, at fixed $N$ they can have large errors on states that do not survive the large-$N$ limit. This allows us to fix well known issues that arise when modeling gravity as an exact codes, while maintaining the nice features expected of gravity, including, among other things, the emergence of non-trivial von Neumann algebras of various types.

We present a flexible modeling tool for the limit of theories: soft inductive limits constituting a generalization of inductive limits of Banach spaces.

This approach yields a dictionary between logical states in the bulk and the critical renormalization group flow of boundary states.

  We construct and study an ensemble of non-isometric error correcting codes in a toy model of an evaporating black hole in dilaton gravity. We show that the typical such code is very likely to preserve pairwise inner products in a set $S$ of states that can be subexponentially large in the microcanonical Hilbert space dimension of the black hole.

We provide simple fault-tolerant procedures that exploit such redundancy by combining a phase flip error correction code with the Gauss' law constraint.

• Geometry of Banach spaces: a new route towards Position Based Cryptography [65.51757376525798]
  We study Position Based Quantum Cryptography (PBQC) from the perspective of geometric functional analysis and its connections with quantum games. The main question we are interested in asks for the optimal amount of entanglement that a coalition of attackers have to share in order to compromise the security of any PBQC protocol. We show that the understanding of the type properties of some more involved Banach spaces would allow to drop out the assumptions and lead to unconditional lower bounds on the resources used to attack our protocol.

  Wigner negativity is known to be a necessary resource for computational advantage in several quantum-computing architectures. We identify vast families of circuits that display large, possibly unbounded, Wigner negativity, and yet are classically efficiently simulatable. We derive our results by establishing a link between the simulatability of high-dimensional discrete-variable quantum circuits and bosonic codes.

• The infinite-dimensional HaPPY code: entanglement wedge reconstruction and dynamics [0.0]
  We construct an infinite-dimensional analog of the HaPPY code as a growing series of stabilizer codes defined respective to their Hilbert spaces. We construct a Hamiltonian that is compatible with the infinite-dimensional HaPPY code and further study the stabilizer of our code, which has an inherent fractal structure. This result shows the limits of the HaPPY code as a model of the AdS/CFT correspondence, but also hints that the relevance of quantum error correction in quantum gravity may not be limited to the CFT context.
