Title: Groupoid Toric Codes
Authors: Pramod Padmanabhan, Indrajit Jana
Abstract summary: We show that a consistent system can be constructed for an arbitrary groupoid. We find several exactly solvable models that have fracton-like features. The origin of this degeneracy can be traced to loop operators supported on both contractible and non-contractible loops.

Abstract: The toric code can be constructed as a gauge theory of finite groups on oriented two dimensional lattices. Here we construct analogous models with the gauge fields belonging to groupoids, which are categories where every morphism has an inverse. We show that a consistent system can be constructed for an arbitrary groupoid and analyze the simplest example that can be seen as the analog of the Abelian $\mathbb{Z}_2$ toric code. We find several exactly solvable models that have fracton-like features which include an extensive ground state degeneracy and excitations that are either immobile or have restricted mobility. Among the possibilities we study in detail the one where the ground state degeneracy scales as $2\times 2^{N_v}$, where $N_v$ is the number of vertices in the lattice. The origin of this degeneracy can be traced to loop operators supported on both contractible and non-contractible loops. In particular, different non-contractible loops, along the same direction on a torus, result in different ground states. This is an exponential increase in the number of logical qubits that can be encoded in this code. Moreover the face excitations in this system are deconfined, free to move without an energy cost along certain directions of the lattice, whereas in certain other directions their movement incurs an energy cost. This places a restriction on the types of loop operators that contribute to the ground state degeneracy. The vertex excitations are immobile. The results are also extended to the groupoid analogs of Abelian $\mathbb{Z}_N$ toric codes.

Representation theory of Gaussian unitary transformations for bosonic and fermionic systems [0.0]
We analyze the behavior of the sign ambiguity that one needs to deal with when moving between the groups of the symplectic and special annihilation group. We show how we can efficiently describe group multiplications in the double cover without the need of going to a faithful representation on an exponentially large or even infinite-dimensional space.

Architectures and random properties of symplectic quantum circuits [0.0]
Parametrized and random unitary $n$-qubit circuits play a central role in quantum information. We present a universal set of generators $mathcalG$ for the symplectic algebra $imathfraksp(d/2)$. We find that the operators in $mathcalG$ cannot generate arbitrary local symplectic unitaries. We then review the Schur-Weyl duality between the symplectic group and the Brauer algebra, and use tools from Weingarten calculus to prove that Pauli measurements can converge

Algebraic Aspects of Boundaries in the Kitaev Quantum Double Model [77.34726150561087]
We provide a systematic treatment of boundaries based on subgroups $Ksubseteq G$ with the Kitaev quantum double $D(G)$ model in the bulk. The boundary sites are representations of a $*$-subalgebra $Xisubseteq D(G)$ and we explicate its structure as a strong $*$-quasi-Hopf algebra. As an application of our treatment, we study patches with boundaries based on $K=G$ horizontally and $K=e$ vertically and show how these could be used in a quantum computer

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.

Sub-bosonic (deformed) ladder operators [62.997667081978825]
We present a class of deformed creation and annihilation operators that originates from a rigorous notion of fuzziness. This leads to deformed, sub-bosonic commutation relations inducing a simple algebraic structure with modified eigenenergies and Fock states. In addition, we investigate possible consequences of the introduced formalism in quantum field theories, as for instance, deviations from linearity in the dispersion relation for free quasibosons.
