• Abstract: We introduce a framework to classify quantum phases, phase transitions, and non-equilibrium dynamics of interfaces separating ordered bulk domains in 2D quantum magnets - equivalently, confining strings in dual lattice gauge theories - based on effective 1D Hamiltonians governing geometric fluctuations. Building on a "holographic" approach from [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 120601 (2022)], here reinterpreted as an exact bosonization, we uncover a rich quantum phase structure, with a variety of stiff and rough interface phases described by gapped and gapless 1D ground states, respectively, all distinguishable through the statistics of 2D wave-function snapshots. Our framework allows us to predict distinct spatiotemporal scaling laws for non-equilibrium curvature-driven interface dynamics across parameter space, which can be readily probed in existing experiments. We finally show that our approach enables the unprecedented experimental opportunity of directly measuring charge full counting statistics and symmetry-resolved properties of an encoded 1D system, as we explicitly demonstrate by numerically simulating a neutral-atom array experiment.
