Factorization of quantum mechanical Hamiltonians has been a useful technique for some time. This procedure has been given an elegant description by supersymmetric quantum mechanics, and the subject has become well-developed. We demonstrate…
For the quantum phase transition in the transverse-field Ising chain, Kramers-Wannier duality not only protects its critical properties but also pinpoints the location of the phase transition. Its role in out-of-equilibrium, monitored…
A pair of Hermitian operators is canonical if they satisfy the canonical commutation relation. It has been believed that no such canonical pair exists in finite-dimensional Hilbert space. Here, we obtain canonical pairs by noting that the…
Quantum supermaps are higher-order maps transforming quantum operations into quantum operations. Here we extend the theory of quantum supermaps, originally formulated in the finite dimensional setting, to the case of higher-order maps…
Entanglement is sometimes helpful in distinguishing between quantum operations, as differences between quantum operations can become magnified when their inputs are entangled with auxiliary systems. Bounds on the dimension of the auxiliary…

The notion of quantum symmetry has recently been extended to include reduced-dimensional transformations and algebraic structures beyond groups. Such generalized symmetries lead to exotic phases of matter and excitations that defy Landau's…

We propose a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm to compute approximate solutions of binary combinatorial problems. We employ a shallow-depth quantum circuit to implement a unitary and Hermitian operator that block-encodes the weighted…
In quantum computing, the computation is achieved by linear operators in or between Hilbert spaces. In this work, we explore a new computation scheme, in which the linear operators in quantum computing are replaced by (higher) functors…

Many-body quantum dynamics defined on a spatial lattice and in discrete time -- either as stroboscopic Floquet systems or quantum circuits -- has been an active area of research for several years. Being discrete in space and time, a natural…
The 2D quantum phase transition that occurs in a square lattice of $p+ip$ superconductors is used to show how four-body interactions in $d=2$ reproduce nonperturbative effects familiar from the study of two-body interactions in $d=1$. This…
The self-duality of the transverse-field Ising model is an archetype for dualities that, alongside symmetry and topology, are used as an organizing principle throughout modern physics. This duality, however, is not exact. The original and…
