• Abstract summary: We study categorical dualities, which are bounded-spread isomorphisms between algebras of symmetry-respecting local operators on a spin chain. A fundamental question about dualities is whether they can be extended to quantum cellular automata. We present a solution to the extension problem using the machinery of Doplicher-Haag-Roberts bimodules.

• Abstract: Dualities play a central role in the study of quantum spin chains, providing insight into the structure of quantum phase diagrams and phase transitions. In this work we study categorical dualities, which are defined as bounded-spread isomorphisms between algebras of symmetry-respecting local operators on a spin chain. We consider generalized global symmetries that correspond to unitary fusion categories, which are represented by matrix-product operator algebras. A fundamental question about dualities is whether they can be extended to quantum cellular automata on the larger algebra generated by all local operators that respect the unit matrix-product operator. For conventional global symmetries, which are on-site representations of finite groups, this larger algebra is simply the tensor product of algebras associated to individual spins in the chain. We present a solution to the extension problem using the machinery of Doplicher-Haag-Roberts bimodules. Our solution provides a crisp categorical criterion for when an extension of a duality exists. We show that the set of possible extensions form a torsor over the invertible objects in the relevant symmetry category. Our approach recovers existing results from the literature when applied to quantum cellular automata that respect a conventional global symmetry.

  We use our framework to reproduce the symmetry-based representations from the symmetry-based disentangled representation learning formalism. We then study the algebras of the transformations of worlds with features that occur in simple reinforcement learning scenarios. Using computational methods, that we developed, we extract the algebras of the transformations of these worlds and classify them according to their properties.

  We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

  We study bipartite unitary operators which stay invariant under the local actions of diagonal unitary and orthogonal groups. As a first application, we construct large new families of dual unitary gates in arbitrary finite dimensions. Our scrutiny reveals that these operators can be used to simulate any bipartite unitary gate via local operations and classical communication.

  We present a systematic recipe for generating and classifying duality transformations in one-dimensional quantum lattice systems. Our construction emphasizes the role of global symmetries, including those described by (non)-abelian groups. We illustrate this approach for known dualities such as Kramers-Wannier, Jordan-Wigner, Kennedy-Tasaki and the IRF-vertex correspondence.
