• Abstract summary: We show how to implement arbitrary translationally invariant quantum cellular automata in any dimension using finite-depth circuits of $k$-local gates. Our results imply that the topological classifications of SPT phases and QCA both collapse to a single trivial phase in the presence of $k$-local interactions.

• Abstract: Whether a given target state can be prepared by starting with a simple product state and acting with a finite-depth quantum circuit is a key question in condensed matter physics and quantum information science. It underpins classifications of topological phases, as well as the understanding of topological quantum codes, and has obvious relevance for device implementations. Traditionally, this question assumes that the quantum circuit is made up of unitary gates that are geometrically local. Inspired by the advent of noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices, we reconsider this question with $k$-local gates, i.e. gates that act on no more than $k$ degrees of freedom, but are not restricted to be geometrically local. First, we construct explicit finite-depth circuits of symmetric $k$-local gates which create symmetry-protected topological (SPT) states from an initial a product state. Our construction applies both to SPT states protected by global symmetries and subsystem symmetries, but not to those with higher-form symmetries, which we conjecture remain nontrivial. Next, we show how to implement arbitrary translationally invariant quantum cellular automata (QCA) in any dimension using finite-depth circuits of $k$-local gates. These results imply that the topological classifications of SPT phases and QCA both collapse to a single trivial phase in the presence of $k$-local interactions. We furthermore argue that SPT phases are fragile to generic $k$-local symmetric perturbations. We conclude by discussing the implications for other phases, such as fracton phases, and surveying future directions. Our analysis opens a new experimentally motivated conceptual direction examining the stability of phases and the feasibility of state preparation without the assumption of geometric locality.

  We propose an alternative paradigm for the symmetry-informed construction of variational quantum circuits. We achieve this by introducing horizontal quantum gates, which only transform the state with respect to the directions to those of the symmetry. For a particular subclass of horizontal gates based on symmetric spaces, we can obtain efficient circuit decompositions for our gates through the KAK theorem.

  Gauging a finite subgroup of a global symmetry can map conventional phases and phase transitions to unconventional ones. In this work, we study an emergent $mathbbZ$-gauged system with global $U(1)$. We also discuss the stability of these phases and the critical points to small perturbations and their potential experimental realizations.

  Topological order offers possibilities for processing quantum information which can be immune to imperfections. We show robustness of certain aspects of $ZZtimes Z$ symmetry-protected trajectory (SPT) order against a wide class of dissipation channels. Our work thus proposes a novel framework to study the dynamics of dissipative SPT phases.

  It is known that for a given symmetry group $G$, the 2D SPT phase protected by $G$ is dual to the 2D topological phase exemplified by the twisted quantum double model $Domega(G)$ via gauging the global symmetry $G$. Here, we review the general approach to gauging a $G$-SPT starting from a fixed-point ground-state wave function and applying a $N$-step gauging procedure. We provide an in-depth analysis of the intermediate states emerging during the N-step gauging and provide tools to measure and identify the emerging symmetry-
