We present simple lattice realizations of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases with $q$-form global symmetries where charged excitations have $q$ spatial dimensions. Specifically, we construct $d$ space-dimensional models supported on a $(d+1)$-colorable graph by using a family of unitary phase gates, known as multi-qubit control-$Z$ gates in quantum information community. In our construction, charged excitations of different dimensionality may coexist and form a short-range entangled state which is protected by symmetry operators of different dimensionality. Non-triviality of proposed models, in a sense of quantum circuit complexity, is confirmed by studying protected boundary modes, gauged models and corresponding gapped domain walls. We also comment on applications of our construction to quantum error-correcting codes, and discuss corresponding fault-tolerant logical gates.

  1. Type-IV 't Hooft Anomalies on the Lattice: Emergent Higher-Categorical Symmetries and Applications to LSM Systems

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    A concrete lattice model realizing a type-IV mixed anomaly yields emergent higher-categorical symmetries upon gauging, and the same framework applied to Lieb-Schultz-Mattis systems produces modulated symmetries whose ...

  2. Hilbert Space Fragmentation from Generalized Symmetries

    hep-lat 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Generalized symmetries generate exponentially many Krylov sectors in quantum many-body systems, showing that Hilbert space fragmentation does not by itself imply ergodicity breaking.

  3. Constant depth magic state cultivation with Clifford measurements by gauging

    quant-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Gauging enables constant-depth logical XS dagger measurements for color-code magic state cultivation, achieving 10^{-12} logical error rates at 0.05% physical error for distance-7 codes while retaining over 1% of shot...
