Deformations of the symmetric subspace of qubit chains

Ángel Ballesteros, Iván Gutiérrez-Sagredo, José de Ramón +1 more

Abstract The symmetric subspace of multi-qubit systems, that is, the space of states invariant under permutations, is commonly encountered in applications in the context of quantum information and communication theory. It is known that the symmetric subspace can be described in terms of irreducible representations of the group SU(2), whose representation spaces form a basis of symmetric states, the so-called Dicke states. In this work, we present deformations of the symmetric subspace as deformations of this group structure, which are promoted to a quantum group U q ( su ( 2 ) ) . We see that deformations of the symmetric subspace obtained in this manner correspond to local deformations of the inner product of each spin, in such a way that departure from symmetry can be encoded in a position-dependent inner product. The consequences and possible extensions of these results are also discussed.

Rotationally Invariant Circuits: Universality with the Exchange Interaction and Two Ancilla Qubits

Iman Marvian, Hanqing Liu, Austin Hulse

Universality of local unitary transformations is one of the cornerstones of quantum computing with many applications and implications that go beyond this field. However, it has recently been shown that this universality does not hold in the presence of continuous symmetries: generic symmetric unitaries on a composite system cannot be implemented, even approximately, using local symmetric unitaries on the subsystems. In this Letter, we show that, despite these constraints, any SU(2) rotationally invariant unitary can be realized with the Heisenberg exchange interaction, which is 2-local and rotationally invariant, provided that the system interacts with a pair of ancilla qubits. We also show that a single ancilla is not enough to achieve universality. Furthermore, we study qubit circuits formed from k-local rotationally invariant unitaries and fully characterize the constraints imposed by locality on the realizable unitaries. We also find an interpretation of these constraints in terms of the average energy of states with a fixed angular momentum.
