The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

The paper links strange correlators to Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobabilities to show they are weak values of an observable that changes a trivial state into a topologically nontrivial one. This creates a witness for whether states belong to different topology classes using sudden quench dynamics on many-body systems. The approach details a probe state and an interferometric protocol based on reconstructing the quasiprobabilities. Readers might care because it turns abstract topology into something measurable via two-time correlations without full tomography.

What carries the argument

The expression of strange correlators in terms of Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobabilities, which identifies them as weak values under quench dynamics.

What would settle it

If the witness fails to correctly identify known trivial and topological phases in a quench experiment on a specific many-body model, the proposed approach would not hold.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

Strange correlators between states are expressed as functions of Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobabilities. This shows that the correlators are weak values of an observable converting an initial trivial state into a topologically non-trivial one. A quantum topology witness is proposed that is achieved by measuring the prior and subsequent effects of a sudden quench transformation realizing the transition between trivial and topological phases. The witness is evaluated on a probe quantum state, and an interferometric protocol for topology discrimination is addressed.

Load-bearing premise

The mapping from strange correlators to Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobabilities remains valid and experimentally accessible for the chosen probe state and many-body systems under sudden quench transformations.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • A topology witness can be constructed from quench effects on the system.
  • The witness works with a defined probe state.
  • An interferometric protocol enables discrimination by reconstructing KDQs.
  • Implementation challenges are outlined.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • This witness could be tested in quantum simulators where KDQ reconstruction is feasible.
  • It may generalize to other many-body phenomena beyond topology if similar correlator mappings exist.
  • Connections to other weak-value based measurements in condensed matter could be explored.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The paper claims that strange correlators between many-body quantum states can be expressed as functions of Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobabilities (KDQs), allowing them to be interpreted as weak values of an observable that converts an initial trivial state into a topologically non-trivial one. This link is used to propose a topology witness based on sudden quench dynamics realizing the trivial-to-topological transition, evaluated on a specific probe state, together with an interferometric protocol for discrimination via complete KDQ reconstruction.

Significance. If the asserted mapping from strange correlators to KDQs holds with the required support and commutation conditions, the work supplies a quasiprobability-based route to topology discrimination that connects recent strange-correlator literature to weak-value and KDQ formalisms, potentially offering an experimentally accessible witness through quench protocols.

major comments (2)
  1. [Abstract (and the section introducing the strange-correlator-to-KDQ link)] The central claim (abstract) that strange correlators equal weak values of the topology-converting observable via a KDQ rewriting requires an explicit derivation of the mapping, including the precise conditions on the probe state and the action of the quench unitary. No such derivation, commutation relations, or verification that the quasiprobability representation preserves the topological distinction appears in the provided text; this step is load-bearing for the witness proposal.
  2. [Probe-state description and quench-dynamics section] The assumption that the KDQ representation of the strange correlator survives the sudden quench for the chosen probe state (abstract) is stated without support conditions or error analysis. If the quench introduces additional phases or if the probe state lacks the necessary support, the equality to the weak value fails and the topology witness does not follow.
minor comments (2)
  1. Clarify the precise timing and measurement sequence for extracting the 'prior and subsequent effects' of the quench in the weak-value protocol.
  2. The abstract refers to 'schemes that allows for the complete reconstruction of KDQs' – supply the relevant references or a brief outline of the reconstruction method used.

We thank the referee for the careful reading and the detailed comments on the central mapping and its assumptions. We address each point below and will incorporate the requested clarifications and derivations into a revised manuscript.

  1. Referee: [Abstract (and the section introducing the strange-correlator-to-KDQ link)] The central claim (abstract) that strange correlators equal weak values of the topology-converting observable via a KDQ rewriting requires an explicit derivation of the mapping, including the precise conditions on the probe state and the action of the quench unitary. No such derivation, commutation relations, or verification that the quasiprobability representation preserves the topological distinction appears in the provided text; this step is load-bearing for the witness proposal.

    Authors: We agree that the mapping requires an explicit, self-contained derivation. In the revised manuscript we will add a dedicated subsection (immediately following the definition of strange correlators) that derives the equality between the strange correlator and the weak value expressed via KDQs. The derivation will state the precise support condition on the probe state (non-vanishing overlap with the eigenbasis of the topology-converting observable) and the commutation relation [U, O] = 0 that is used to interchange the quench unitary with the KDQ representation. We will also include a short verification that the topological invariant extracted from the weak value remains unchanged under the quasiprobability rewriting for the class of states considered. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [Probe-state description and quench-dynamics section] The assumption that the KDQ representation of the strange correlator survives the sudden quench for the chosen probe state (abstract) is stated without support conditions or error analysis. If the quench introduces additional phases or if the probe state lacks the necessary support, the equality to the weak value fails and the topology witness does not follow.

    Authors: We acknowledge that the survival of the KDQ representation under the sudden quench must be justified explicitly. In the revised version we will expand the probe-state section with (i) the explicit support condition required for the chosen initial state, (ii) a short calculation showing that the additional dynamical phases acquired during the quench factor out of the KDQ and therefore cancel in the weak-value ratio, and (iii) a brief error-bound estimate demonstrating that the topological distinction is preserved up to an exponentially small correction for system sizes relevant to the proposal. These additions will be placed immediately before the interferometric-protocol discussion. revision: yes

No significant circularity; derivation links established tools without self-reduction

full rationale

The paper's approach expresses strange correlators (from prior literature) as functions of KDQs to identify them as weak values, then proposes a quench-based witness evaluated on a described probe state. No quoted equations or steps reduce a claimed result to a fitted parameter, self-definition, or load-bearing self-citation chain. The mapping is presented as a derived link rather than an input renamed as output, and the central witness follows from the stated connection without internal equivalence by construction. This is a standard self-contained proposal.

We discuss a theoretical approach to discriminate whether two states of a many-body quantum system belong or not to different topology classes. This approach is based on expressing a strange correlator - a recently established tool for quantum topology discrimination - between the states as a function of Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobabilities (KDQs). KDQs provide a first-principles representation of two-time quantum correlators. The link between strange correlators and KDQs allows to establish that strange correlators are weak values of an observable converting an initial trivial state into a topologically non-trivial one. We thus propose a quantum topology witness that is achievable measuring the prior and subsequent effects on a many-body system of a sudden quench transformation that realizes the transition between trivial and topological phases. The witness is evaluated on a probe quantum state whose main features are detailed within the paper. Finally, directly exploiting schemes that allows for the complete reconstruction of KDQs, we address an interferometric protocol for topology discrimination, along with a general discussion of the main lines and challenges towards its implementation.
