Recent advances have defined nontrivial phases of matter in open quantum systems, such as many-body quantum states subject to environmental noise. In this work, we experimentally probe and characterize mixed-state phases on Quantinuum's H1 quantum computer using two measures: Renyi correlators and the coding performance of a quantum error-correcting code associated with the phase. As a concrete example, we probe the low-energy states of the critical transverse field Ising model under different dephasing noise channels. First, we employ shadow tomography to observe a newly proposed Renyi correlator in two distinct phases: one exhibiting power-law decay and the other long-ranged. Second, we investigate the decoding fidelity of the associated quantum error-correcting code using a variational quantum circuit, and we find that a shallow circuit is sufficient to distinguish the above-mentioned two mixed-state phases through the decoding performance quantified by entanglement fidelity. Our work is a proof of concept for the quantum simulation and characterization of mixed-state phases.

  1. Strong-to-Weak Symmetry Breaking Phases in Steady States of Quantum Operations

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2025-09 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Maximally mixed symmetric states are rigorously shown to exhibit strong-to-weak symmetry breaking, and only postselected, non-trace-preserving dynamics can drive a steady-state transition out of this phase.

  2. Approximate Quantum Error Correction at Chiral Topological Edges

    quant-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Chiral edge codes have local-erasure robustness governed by power-law exponents with hierarchy γ≥α≥min{α,β}, so the 2D code is at least as robust as its 1D CFT reduction.

  3. Static features from mixing in short- and long-range Lindbladians: Markov property and correlations

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Rapid mixing and frustration-freeness of short- or long-range Lindbladians imply polynomial (not exponential) decay of CMI and MI of the fixed point; long-range Gibbs states are locally Markovian at any temperature.
