Robust encoding of a qubit in a molecule

VV Albert, JP Covey, J Preskill - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
We construct quantum error-correcting codes that embed a finite-dimensional code space in
the infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of rotational states of a rigid body. These codes, which …

Phase transitions in angle variables

F Iachello - Physical review letters, 2003 - APS
Phase transitions in angle variables are studied. An example of angular phase transition, an
axially to triaxially deformed “shape” transition in nuclei, is discussed. Spectroscopic …

Algebraic approach to two-dimensional systems: Shape phase transitions, monodromy, and thermodynamic quantities

F Pérez-Bernal, F Iachello - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2008 - APS
We analyze shape phase transitions in two-dimensional algebraic models. We apply our
analysis to linear-to-bent transitions in molecules and point out what observables are …

Quantum phase transitions in the collective degrees of freedom: nuclei and other many-body systems

P Cejnar, P Stránský - Physica Scripta, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Quantum phase transitions (QPTs) represent a quickly developing subject of theoretical and
experimental research. Nuclear physics contributed to the formation of the QPT concept in …
