• Abstract: We extensively study long-time dynamics and fate of topologically-ordered state in toric code model evolving through projective measurement-only circuit. The circuit is composed of several measurement operators corresponding to each term of toric code Hamiltonian with magnetic-field perturbations, which is a gauge-fixed version of a (2+1)-dimensional gauge-Higgs model. We employ a cylinder geometry with distinct upper and lower boundaries to classify stationary states after long-time measurement dynamics. The appearing stationary states depend on measurement probabilities for each measurement operator. The Higgs, confined and deconfined phases emerge in the time evolution by the circuit. We find that both Higgs and confined phases are separated from the deconfined phase by topological entanglement entropy. We numerically clarify that both Higgs and confined phases are characterized by a long-range order on the boundaries accompanying edge modes, and they shift with each other by a crossover reflecting properties in the bulk phase diagram.

  In quantum many-body spin systems, the interplay between the entangling effect of multi-qubit Pauli measurements and the disentangling effect of single-qubit Pauli measurements may give rise to two competing effects. We numerically investigate a measurement-based model associated with the $(2+1)$d $mathbbZ$ Fradkin-Shenker Hamiltonian model.

• Bulk-Measurement-Induced Boundary Phase Transition in Toric Code and Gauge-Higgs Model [0.0]
  Boundary phase transition in toric code under cylinder geometry via bulk projective measurement is reported. As the frequency of local measurement for bulk qubits is increased, spin-glass type long-range order on the boundaries emerges indicating spontaneous-symmetry breaking ( SSB) We numerically elucidate the properties of this phase transition in detail, especially its criticality, and give a physical picture using non-local gauge-invariant symmetry operators.

• Interplay between lattice gauge theory and subsystem codes [0.0]
  In this work, we extend the interplay between quantum information system and gauge-theory model from the view point of subsystem code. We show that $Z$ lattice-Higgs model in (2+1)-dimensions with specific open boundary conditions is noting but a kind of subsystem code. Mixed anomaly of them dictates the existence of boundary zero modes, which is a direct consequence of symmetry-protected topological order in Higgs and confinement phases.

  We consider a paradigmatic solvable model of topological order in two dimensions, Kitaev's honeycomb Hamiltonian. We turn it into a measurement-only dynamics consisting of measurements of two-qubit bond operators. We observe an unusual behavior for the dynamical purification of mixed states, characterized at late times by the dynamical exponent $z = 1/2$.

  We compute the geometric phases acquired in both unitary and dissipative Jaynes-Cummings models. In the dissipative model, the non-unitary effects arise from the outflow of photons through the cavity walls. We show the geometric phase is robust, exhibiting a vanishing correction under a non-unitary evolution.
