• Abstract: It is known that particles with exotic properties can emerge in systems made of simple constituents such as qubits, due to long-range quantum entanglement. In this paper, we provide quantitative characterizations of entanglement necessary for emergent anyons and fermions by using the geometric entanglement measure (GEM) which quantifies the maximal overlap between a given state and any short-range entangled states. For systems with emergent anyons, based on the braiding statistics, we show that the GEM scales linearly in the system size regardless of microscopic details. The phenomenon of emergent anyons can also be understood within the framework of quantum error correction (QEC). Specifically, we show that the GEM of any 2D stabilizer codes must be at least quadratic in the code distance. Our proof is based on a generic prescription for constructing string operators, establishing a rigorous and direct connection between emergent anyons and QEC. For systems with emergent fermions, despite that the ground state subspaces could be exponentially huge and their coding properties could be rather poor, we show that the GEM also scales linearly in the system size. Our results also establish an intriguing link between quantum anomaly and entanglement: a quantum state respecting anomalous $1$-form symmetries, be it pure or mixed, must be long-range entangled and have large GEM, offering a non-trivial class of intrinsically mixed state phases.

  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.

  We show, for a simple critical model of free hopping fermions, that any GfMPS approximation to its ground state must have bond dimension scaling superpolynomially with the system size. We also provide numerical evidence that the required bond dimension is subexponential, and thus can still be simulated with moderate resources.

  We propose a protocol that makes optimal use of a given finite-size simulator by directly preparing, on its bulk region, a mixed state. For systems of free fermions in one and two spatial dimensions, we illustrate and explain the underlying physics. For the example of a non-integrable extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, we demonstrate that our protocol enables a more accurate study of QPTs.

  We show that a controlled interaction with the environment may help to create a state, dubbed as em dark'', which is immune to decoherence. To encode quantum information in the dark states, they need to span a space with a dimensionality larger than one, so different states act as a computational basis. This approach offers new possibilities for storing, protecting and manipulating quantum information in open systems.
