• Abstract summary: We use Sequential Quantum Circuits which apply unitary transformations to local patches, strips, or other sub-regions of a system in a sequential way. The circuit on the one hand preserves entanglement area law and hence the gapped-ness of the quantum states. On the other hand, the circuit has generically a linear depth, hence it is capable of changing the long-range correlation and entanglement of quantum states.

• Abstract: Finite-depth quantum circuits preserve the long-range entanglement structure in quantum states and map between states within a gapped phase. To map between states of different gapped phases, we can use Sequential Quantum Circuits which apply unitary transformations to local patches, strips, or other sub-regions of a system in a sequential way. The sequential structure of the circuit on the one hand preserves entanglement area law and hence the gapped-ness of the quantum states. On the other hand, the circuit has generically a linear depth, hence it is capable of changing the long-range correlation and entanglement of quantum states and the phase they belong to. In this paper, we discuss systematically the definition, basic properties, and prototypical examples of sequential quantum circuits that map product states to GHZ states, symmetry-protected topological states, intrinsic topological states, and fracton states. We discuss the physical interpretation of the power of the circuits through connection to condensation, Kramers-Wannier duality, and the notion of foliation for fracton phases.

• Classifying 2D topological phases: mapping ground states to string-nets [0.0]
  Two gapped ground states of lattice Hamiltonians are in the same quantum phase of matter, or topological phase, if they can be connected by a constant-depth quantum circuit. It is conjectured that the Levin-Wen string-net models exhaust all possible gapped phases with gappable boundary, and these phases are labeled by unitary modular tensor categories.

  Efficient preparation of many-body ground states is key to harnessing the power of quantum computers in studying quantum many-body systems. We propose a simple method to design exact linear-depth parameterized quantum circuits which prepare a family of ground states across topological quantum phase transitions in 2D. We show that the 2D isoTNS can also be efficiently simulated by a holographic quantum algorithm requiring only an 1D array of qubits.

  We define two mixed states to be in the same phase if both states can be transformed into the other by a shallow circuit of local quantum channels. We first construct families of such states based on C*-weak Hopf algebras, the algebras whose representations form a fusion category. More concretely, we provide explicit local fine-graining and local coarse-graining quantum channels for the renormalization procedure of these states.
