abstract

We argue that the chiral $U(1)_A$ symmetry of a Weyl fermion cannot be implemented by a shallow depth quantum circuit operation in a fermionic lattice Hamiltonian model with finite dimensional onsite Hilbert spaces. We also extend this result to discrete ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2N}$ subgroups of $U(1)_A$, in which case we show that for $N_f$ Weyl fermions of the same helicity, this group action cannot be implemented with shallow depth circuits when $N_f$ is not an integer multiple of $2N$.

  1. Fermionic Villain model with exact lattice chiral symmetries

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A fermionic Villain lattice Hamiltonian exactly realizes the chiral U(1) L x U(1) R symmetry and anomalies of a massless Dirac fermion, enabling exact studies of symmetric mass generation and chiral lattice gauge theories.

  2. Ginsparg-Wilson Hamiltonians with Improved Chiral Symmetry

    hep-lat 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A tunable family of Ginsparg-Wilson Hamiltonians is constructed in which the chiral charge becomes progressively more quantized as k increases, though locality degrades.
