We define a multi-partite entanglement measure for stabilizer states, which can be computed efficiently from a set of generators of the stabilizer group. Our measure applies to qubits, qudits and continuous variables.
With the advent of quantum simulators of $2+1$D lattice gauge theories (LGTs), a fundamental open question is under what circumstances the observed physics is genuinely $2+1$D rather than effectively $1+1$D. Here, we address this question…

The quantum O(2) model in 2+1 dimensions is studied by simulating the 3d O(2) model near criticality. Finite densities are introduced by a non-zero chemical potential mu, and the worm algorithm is used to circumvent the sign problem. The…
In the standard model, stabilization of a classically unstable cosmic string may occur through the quantum fluctuations of a heavy fermion doublet. We review numerical results from a semiclassical expansion in a reduced version of the…
