• Title: Low-density parity-check codes as stable phases of quantum matter
• Authors: Chao Yin, Andrew Lucas,
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Phases of matter with robust ground-state degeneracy, such as the quantum toric code, are known to be capable of robust quantum information storage. Here, we address the converse question: given a quantum error correcting code, when does it define a stable gapped quantum phase of matter, whose ground state degeneracy is robust against perturbations in the thermodynamic limit? We prove that a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code defines such a phase, robust against all few-body perturbations, if its code distance grows at least logarithmically in the number of degrees of freedom, and it exhibits "check soundness". Many constant-rate quantum LDPC expander codes have such properties, and define stable phases of matter with a constant zero-temperature entropy density, violating the third law of thermodynamics. Our results also show that quantum toric code phases are robust to spatially nonlocal few-body perturbations. Similarly, phases of matter defined by classical codes are stable against symmetric perturbations. In the classical setting, we present improved locality bounds on the quasiadiabatic evolution operator between two nearby states in the same code phase.

  Storing quantum information requires battling quantum decoherence, which results in a loss of information over time. To achieve error-resistant quantum memory, one would like to store the information in a quantum superposition of degenerate states engineered in such a way that local sources of noise cannot change one state into another. We show that this platform also allows to detect and correct certain types of errors en route to the goal of true error-resistant quantum memory.

  Topologically-ordered phases are stable to local perturbations, and topological quantum error-correcting codes enjoy thresholds to local errors. We construct classical statistical mechanics models for decoding general CSS codes and classical linear codes. For CSS codes satisfying the LDPC condition and with a sufficiently large code distance, we prove the existence of a low temperature ordered phase.

  Quantum Circuits (PQCs) are still not fully understood outside the scope of their principal application. We analyse the generation of random states in PQCs under restrictions on the qubits connectivities. We place a connection between how steep is the increase on the uniformity of the distribution of the generated states and the generation of entanglement.

• Stability of mixed-state quantum phases via finite Markov length [0.0]
  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.

We find convincing evidence of the two phases and show numerically that, with modest system scaling, critical properties of the transition clearly emerge.
