• Abstract summary: We investigate the interplay of dualities, generalized symmetries, and topological defects beyond theoretical models. A simple model exhibiting this physics is the transverse-field Ising model, which can host a noninvertible topological defect. When acting on one point in space, this duality defect imposes the duality twisted boundary condition and a single Majorana zero mode. Using Floquet driving of a closed Ising chain with a duality defect, we generate this Majorana zero mode in a digital quantum computer.

• Abstract: Investigating the interplay of dualities, generalized symmetries, and topological defects beyond theoretical models is an important challenge in condensed matter physics and quantum materials. A simple model exhibiting this physics is the transverse-field Ising model, which can host a noninvertible topological defect that performs the Kramers-Wannier duality transformation. When acting on one point in space, this duality defect imposes the duality twisted boundary condition and binds a single Majorana zero mode. This Majorana zero mode is unusual as it lacks localized partners and has an infinite lifetime, even in finite systems. Using Floquet driving of a closed Ising chain with a duality defect, we generate this Majorana zero mode in a digital quantum computer. We detect the mode by measuring its associated persistent autocorrelation function using an efficient sampling protocol and a compound strategy for error mitigation. We also show that the Majorana zero mode resides at the domain wall between two regions related by a Kramers-Wannier duality. Finally, we highlight the robustness of the isolated Majorana zero mode to integrability and symmetry-breaking perturbations. Our findings offer an approach to investigating exotic topological defects in digitized quantum devices.

  We investigate the impact of introducing a local cavity within the center of a topological chain. This cavity induces a scissor-like effect that bisects the chain, liberating Majorana zero modes (MZMs) within the bulk. By leveraging the symmetry properties of fermion modes within a two-site cavity, we propose a novel method for generating MZM-polariton Schr"odinger cat states.

  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.
