• Title: Stability of mixed-state quantum phases via finite Markov length
• Authors: Shengqi Sang, Timothy H. Hsieh,
• Abstract summary: We propose Markov length, the length scale at which the quantum conditional mutual information (CMI) decays exponentially. We show that the Markov length is finite everywhere except at its decodability transition, at which it diverges. This implies that the mixed state phase transition coincides with the decodability transition and also suggests a quasi-local decoding channel.

• Abstract: For quantum phases of Hamiltonian ground states, the energy gap plays a central role in ensuring the stability of the phase as long as the gap remains finite. We propose Markov length, the length scale at which the quantum conditional mutual information (CMI) decays exponentially, as an equally essential quantity characterizing mixed-state phases and transitions. For a state evolving under a local Lindbladian, we argue that if its Markov length remains finite along the evolution, then it remains in the same phase, meaning there exists another quasi-local Lindbladian evolution that can reverse the former one. We apply this diagnostic to toric code subject to decoherence and show that the Markov length is finite everywhere except at its decodability transition, at which it diverges. CMI in this case can be mapped to the free energy cost of point defects in the random bond Ising model. This implies that the mixed state phase transition coincides with the decodability transition and also suggests a quasi-local decoding channel.

  Given a quantum error correcting code, when does it define a stable gapped quantum phase of matter? We prove that a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code defines such a phase, robust against all few-body perturbations. Our results also show that quantum toric code phases are robust to spatially nonlocal few-body perturbations.

As the experimental system sizes increase, we show that the wave vectors approach a continuum of values incommensurate with the lattice.

  How the property of quantum many-body system especially the phase transition will be affected by the non-hermiticity remains unclear. We show that there is a continuous phase transition induced by the non-hermiticity in QCP. We observe that the order parameter and susceptibility display infinitely even for finite size system, since non-hermiticity endows universality many-body system with different singular behaviour from classical phase transition.
