• Abstract: We investigate the gauging of a $\mathbb{Z}_N$ symmetry in lattice conformal field theories (CFTs), also known as Narain CFTs. For prime $N$, we derive a spin selection rule for operators in a $\mathbb{Z}_N$ charge-twisted sector of a general bosonic CFT. Using this result, we formulate the gauging procedures in lattice CFTs as modifications of the momentum lattices by a lattice vector that specifies a non-anomalous $\mathbb{Z}_N$ symmetry. Applying this formulation to code CFTs, i.e., Narain CFTs constructed from error-correcting codes, we express the torus partition functions of the orbifolded and parafermionized theories in terms of the weight enumerator polynomials of the underlying codes. As an application, we identify a class of codes that yield self-dual bosonic CFTs under the orbifolding by a $\mathbb{Z}_N$ symmetry.

  We construct Narain conformal field theories from quantum subsystem codes. The resulting code CFTs exhibit a global $mathbbZ$ symmetry, enabling us to perform the orbifolded and fermionized theories. We identify several bosonic code CFTs self-dual under the $mathbbZ$-bifold, new supersymmetric code CFTs, and a few fermionic code CFTs with spontaneously broken supersymmetry.

  We study the global forms of class $mathcalS[A_N-1]$ 4d $mathcalN = 2$ theories by deriving their defect groups from Coulomb branch data. We employ an explicit construction of the BPS quiver for the case of full regular punctures to show that the defect group is $(mathbbZ_N)2g$, where $g$ is the genus of the associated surface.

  We present a digitization scheme for the lattice $mathrmSU(2)$ gauge theory Hamiltonian in the $mathitmagnetic$ $mathitbasis$, where the gauge links are unitary and diagonal. The digitization is obtained from a particular partitioning of the $mathrmSU(2)$ group manifold, with the canonical momenta constructed by an approximation of the Lie derivatives on this partitioning.

  We propose a novel variational ansatz for the ground-state preparation of the $mathbbZ$ lattice gauge theory (LGT) in quantum simulators. It combines dissipative and unitary operations in a completely deterministic scheme with a circuit depth that does not scale with the size of the considered lattice. We find that, with very few variational parameters, the ansatz can achieve $>!99%$ precision in energy in both the confined and deconfined phase of the $mathbbZ$ LGT.

  We provide a systematic treatment of boundaries based on subgroups $Ksubseteq G$ with the Kitaev quantum double $D(G)$ model in the bulk. The boundary sites are representations of a $*$-subalgebra $Xisubseteq D(G)$ and we explicate its structure as a strong $*$-quasi-Hopf algebra. As an application of our treatment, we study patches with boundaries based on $K=G$ horizontally and $K=e$ vertically and show how these could be used in a quantum computer
