• Abstract: In this work we extend the connection between Quantum Error Correction (QEC) and Lattice Gauge Theories (LGTs) by showing that a $\mathbb{Z}_N$ gauge theory with prime dimension $N$ coupled to dynamical matter can be expressed as a qudit stabilizer code. Using the stabilizer formalism we show how to formulate an exact mapping of the encoded $\mathbb{Z}_N$ gauge theory onto two different bosonic models, uncovering a logical duality generated by error correction itself. From this perspective, quantum error correction provides a unifying language to expose dual descriptions of lattice gauge theories. In addition, we generalize earlier $\mathbb{Z}_2$ constructions on qubits to $\mathbb{Z}_N$ on $N$-level qudits and demonstrate how universal fault-tolerant gates can be implemented via state injection between compatible qudit codes.

  We show that a strong and easy connection exists between quantum error correction and Lattice Gauge Theories (LGT) We identify the logical operations on this gauge covariant code and show that the corresponding Hamiltonian can be expressed in terms of these logical operations. We demonstrate a method to perform fault-tolerant time evolution of the Hamiltonian within the gauge covariant code using both product formulas and qubitization approaches.

  We present a class of deformed creation and annihilation operators that originates from a rigorous notion of fuzziness. This leads to deformed, sub-bosonic commutation relations inducing a simple algebraic structure with modified eigenenergies and Fock states. In addition, we investigate possible consequences of the introduced formalism in quantum field theories, as for instance, deviations from linearity in the dispersion relation for free quasibosons.
