abstract
String breaking is an intriguing phenomenon crucial to the understanding of lattice gauge theories (LGTs), with strong relevance to both condensed matter and high-energy physics (HEP). Recent experiments investigating string breaking in $2+1$D (two spatial and one temporal dimensions) LGTs motivate a thorough analysis of its underlying mechanisms. Here, we perform matrix product state (MPS) simulations of string breaking in an experimentally relevant $2+1$D $\mathbb{Z}_2$ LGT in the presence of two external charges. We provide a detailed description of the system in the confined phase, highlight a number of mechanisms which are responsible for string breaking, and argue that magnetic fluctuations have a stabilizing effect on the strings. Moreover, we show that deep in the confined regime the problem is dual to one-dimensional free fermions hopping on an open chain. Our work elucidates the microscopic processes of string breaking in $2+1$D LGTs, and our findings can be probed on current superconducting-qubit quantum computers.

Nonlocal Nonstabilizerness from Holographic Schwinger Pair Production
In holographic Schwinger pair production, the excess capacity of entanglement is √λ(d−2)/(d−1)³ — positive for d>2, zero for d=2 — so the produced pair carries nonlocal magic for d>2.

Ground state preparation in $(2+1)$-dimensional pure $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory via deterministic quantum imaginary time evolution
Deterministic QITE with a Gauss-law-reduced Pauli pool reproduces DMRG ground-state energies of (2+1)-D pure Z2 lattice gauge theory to within 0.1% for ladders of up to 32 qubits and coupling λ ∈ [0.5, 5].

String Breaking Dynamics and Glueball Formation in a $2+1$D Lattice Gauge Theory
In a 2+1D Z2 lattice gauge theory, string breaking happens only at specific resonances set by field strength and matter mass, while long strings can dynamically form closed electric loops analogous to glueballs.

Confinement and String Breaking in the Compact Abelian Higgs Model
A spin-1 qutrit lattice model with a local chemical potential yields universal linear string potentials, from which string tension, breaking length, and meson mass can be extracted by DMRG.

Roughening and dynamics of an electric flux string in a (2+1)D lattice gauge theory
Numerical MPS simulations confirm static roughening signatures in a 2+1D Z2 gauge theory and show that after a local quench the entanglement entropy grows linearly in the roughening region, consistent with a massless ...
