• Abstract: Mixed-state phases of matter under local decoherence have recently garnered significant attention due to the ubiquitous presence of noise in current quantum processors. One of the key issues is understanding how topological quantum memory is affected by realistic coherent noises, such as random rotation noise and amplitude damping noise. In this work, we investigate the intrinsic error threshold of the two-dimensional toric code, a paradigmatic topological quantum memory, under these coherent noises by employing both analytical and numerical methods based on the doubled Hilbert space formalism. A connection between the mixed-state phase of the decohered toric code and a non-Hermitian Ashkin-Teller-type statistical mechanics model is established, and the mixed-state phase diagrams under the coherent noises are obtained. We find remarkable stability of mixed-state topological order under random rotation noise with axes near the $Y$-axis of qubits. We also identify intriguing extended critical regions at the phase boundaries, highlighting a connection with non-Hermitian physics. The upper bounds for the intrinsic error threshold are determined by these phase boundaries, beyond which quantum error correction becomes impossible.

  We introduce Lindblad-like quantum tomography (L$ell$QT) as a quantum characterization technique of time-correlated noise in quantum information processors. We discuss L$ell$QT for the dephasing dynamics of single qubits in detail, which allows for a neat understanding of the importance of including multiple snapshots of the quantum evolution in the likelihood function.

  A quantum circuit with a Hadamard gate and a measurement on one of the outputs is known to lead to chaotic dynamics when applied iteratively on an ensemble of equally prepared qubits. We examine how the ideal evolution is distorted in the presence of both coherent error and incoherent initial noise. Our results allow to identify reliable regimes of operation of iterative protocols.

We discuss how, and in which sense, the phenomenon of noise-induced barren plateaus emerges in parameterized quantum circuits with a layered noise model.

  Correlated noise across multiple qubits poses a significant challenge for achieving scalable quantum processors. We study the dynamics of driven qubits under spatially correlated noise, including both Markovian and non-Markovian noise. In particular, we reveal that, in the quantum limit, pure dephasing noise induces a coherent long-range two-qubit Ising interaction that correlates distant qubits.

  We investigate the coherence and non-Markovianity of a quantum tunneling system whose barrier is fluctuated by a telegraph noise. It is found that there is no strong relation between the coherence of the system and non-Markovianity dynamics except in a region in which these two tend to change their behavior at the intermediate noise color for two initial states.

In a paradigmatic case of spin-boson dephasovian noise from a thermal environment, we find that it is possible to suppress, on average, the effect of correlations by randomizing the location of probes.

  Localizable entanglement is studied on nontrivial loops of topological quantum codes with parallel magnetic field. We study the behavior of these lower bounds in the vicinity of the topological to nontopological quantum phase transition of the system. We find that in the case of the non-Markovian dephasing noise, at large time, the canonical measurement-based lower bound oscillates with a larger amplitude.
