• Abstract: We formulate a quantum phase space for molecular rotational and nuclear-spin states. Taking in molecular geometry and nuclear-spin data, we reproduce a molecule's admissible angular momentum states known from spectroscopy, introduce its angular position states using quantization theory, and develop a generalized Fourier transform converting between the two. We classify molecules into three types -- asymmetric, rotationally symmetric, and perrotationally symmetric -- with the last type having no macroscopic analogue due to nuclear-spin statistics constraints. We discuss two general features in perrotationally symmetric state spaces that are Hamiltonian-independent and induced solely by symmetry and spin statistics. First, we quantify when and how the state space of a molecular species is completely rotation-spin entangled, meaning that it does not admit any separable states. Second, we identify molecular species whose position states house an internal pseudo-spin or "fiber" degree of freedom, and the fiber's Berry phase or matrix after adiabatic changes in position yields naturally robust operations, akin to braiding anyonic quasiparticles or realizing fault-tolerant quantum gates. We outline how the fiber can be used as a quantum error-correcting code and discuss scenarios where these features can be experimentally probed.

  We discuss the role of self-dual symmetry -- a fundamental notion in theoretical physics -- in mixed states. We show that the decoherence of electric and magnetic vortices from the 2D bulk of the toric code can leave a (1+1)D quantum critical mixed state. An explicit breaking of the self-duality, by incoherent noise amounting to fermion interactions or non-interacting coherent deformation, is shown to induce an RG crossover.

• Quantum circuits to measure scalar spin chirality [0.5134254313682964]
  In quantum information, the scalar spin chirality is a witness of genuine tripartite entanglement. We propose an indirect measurement scheme, based on the Hadamard test, to estimate the scalar spin chirality for general quantum states. We show a single-shot determination of the scalar chirality is possible for chirality eigenstates, via quantum phase estimation with a single auxiliary qutrit.

  We study the general quantum Hamiltonian that can be realized with two species of degenerate ultracold atoms in a ring-shaped trap. We examine the spectrum and the states with a collective spin picture in a Dicke state basis. The density of states for the full Hamiltonian shows features as of phase transition in varying between linear and quadratic limits.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

We find that the measurement of the cavity transmission allows to uniquely determine the spin state of the qudits.
