Generating quantum error correcting codes from topological pre-thermal scars

Le résumé fourni par la source

Quantum many-body scars are rare nonthermal states embedded within otherwise thermalizing spectra, making them promising candidates for storing and manipulating quantum information. However, a general framework that can both identify such states without prior knowledge of their microscopic scarring mechanism and determine when they enable a quantum error correcting code has remained elusive. Here, we develop an end-to-end framework connecting nonthermal-state discovery to certifiable quantum error correction using a many-body spectral localizer. By searching for states jointly localized in energy and a diagnostic observable in systems with a many-body grading symmetry, the spectral localizer identifies candidate scars within dense many-body spectra in tandem with a topological index whose shifts determine their graded subspace. For suitable pairs of same-graded scars, the grading renders grading-odd errors exactly detectable, while their localization can suppress the logical action of sufficiently local grading-even error products, yielding an approximate Knill--Laflamme condition and an operator-algebra quantum error-correction structure. We demonstrate the scar-identification framework in one- and two-dimensional density-difference-dependent bosonic models and in the PXP model, and explicitly construct the resulting approximate quantum code in the one-dimensional bosonic system. Our results establish a systematic route from identifying nonthermal many-body states to exploiting them for protecting quantum information, and position pseudospectral methods as a broadly applicable tool for discovering useful behaviors in interacting quantum systems.
