我们研究量子纠错码中的仁义熵S n,并比较宇宙Brane公式的答案,以计算S〜n 2 n 2 nn nn − 1 n S n $$ {\ tilde {S}} _ n \ equiv {n} ^ 2 {\ partial} _n \ left(\ frac {n-1} {n} {S} _n \ right)$$。 我们发现一般算子代数代码具有相似的更一般的规定。 值得注意的是,要使AdS / CFT代码与特定的宇宙麸皮处方相匹配,该代码必须在区域算子的本征空间内具有最大的纠缠度。 这为我们提供了对区域算子的改进定义,并在Ryu-Takayanagi区域项与晶格规理论中的边缘模式之间建立了更牢固的联系。 我们还提出了对现有全息张量网络作为区域本征态而不是平滑几何形状的新解释。 这种解释将解释为什么张量网络在历史上难以建模全息CFT的Renyi熵谱,并提出了一种构建具有正确谱的全息网络的方法。

. We find
that general operator algebra codes have a similar, more general prescription. Notably, for
the AdS/CFT code to match the specific cosmic brane prescription, the code must have
maximal entanglement within eigenspaces of the area operator. This gives us an improved
definition of the area operator, and establishes a stronger connection between the Ryu-
Takayanagi area term and the edge modes in lattice gauge theory. We also propose a new
interpretation of existing holographic tensor networks as area eigenstates instead of smooth
geometries. This interpretation would explain why tensor networks have historically had
trouble modeling the Renyi entropy spectrum of holographic CFTs, and it suggests a
method to construct holographic networks with the correct spectrum.

1 Intro duction
While the quantum error-correction interpretation of AdS/CFT was discovered by trying
to resolve certain paradoxes [1], it has exceeded its original purpose. Among other things,
it has led to proofs of entanglement wedge reconstruction [2, 3] and a better understanding
of the black hole interior [4, 5].
One remarkable result was an appreciation of the Ryu-Takayanagi (RT) formula [6–8]
as a property of the code [9]. The RT formula computes the von Neumann entropy S(ρ
A
) ≡
− tr ρ
A
log ρ
A
of a subregion A of a holographic CFT via the area A of an extremal surface
in the AdS dual:
S(ρ) =
A
4G
N
+ S
bulk
(1.1)
where S
bulk
is the entropy of the matter in the bulk subregion dual to A [10]. While the
area term is in general O(1/G
N
), S
bulk
is in general O(1) and is the quantum (or “FLM”)
correction to RT [10].

The RT formula naturally appears when one computes the von Neumann entropy of an
encoded state in a quantum error-correcting code. We demonstrate this now in the context
of the type of code we will be using throughout: an operator-algebra quantum error-
correcting (OQEC) code with complementary recovery. These appear to be the best codes
to model AdS/CFT [9], and we will explain their details in section 2. For now, it suffices
to say that we consider a finite-dimensional Hilbert space H = H
A
⊗ H
¯
A
, and a Hilbert
space H
code
⊆ H. Furthermore, these Hilbert spaces have the following decompositions
H

(H

with dim H

= dim H

. In these codes, a “logical” density matrix ρ acting on H
code
is
encoded in a “physical” density matrix acting on H. Moreover, we say that A encodes a if
there exists a unitary operation U
A
on H
A
such that
eρ

and the density matrices ρ

act on H

and correspond to the state ρ
a
α
that we wished
to encode in eρ
A
. I.e. ρ
α
acts on H
A

in the same way that ρ

does on H

. The density

and correspond to the extra degrees of freedom that help encode.

Compare this to eq. (1.1). The first term on the r.h.s. of both are the expectation value
of linear operators evaluated in the state of interest. The other terms are naturally the
algebraic von Neumann entropy of the logical state [9]. This is the basic connection between
RT and quantum error-correcting codes.
In AdS/CFT, there is a natural generalization of the RT formula that we now describe.
The von Neumann entropy S(ρ) has a well-known generalization called the Renyi entropies,
S
n
(ρ) ≡
1
1−n
log tr ρ
n
. While the Renyi entropy equals the von Neumann entropy for n = 1,
it is widely believed that the Renyi entropy does not satisfy anything qualitatively similar
to the RT formula for n 6= 1 [11, 12]. However, a related quantity called the refined Renyi
entropy
e
S
n
(ρ) ≡ n
2
∂
n
n − 1
n
S
n
(ρ)
(1.7)
also reduces to the von Neumann entropy for n = 1 but in fact does satisfy a generalized
version of the RT formula [11]. One computes
e
S
n
(ρ
A
) holographically via the so-called
“cosmic brane prescription,” which works roughly as follows. Into the state ρ
A
, insert an
extremal codimension-2 cosmic brane in AdS homologous to the boundary region A, and
– 2 –
JHEP05(2019)052
let this brane have tension T
n
=
n−1
4nG
N
. The refined Renyi entropy is related to the area of
this brane:
e
S

(ρ

) =

brane
4G
N
+
e
S
n,bulk
, (1.8)
where
e
S
n,bulk
is the refined Renyi entropy of bulk matter fields in a particular state ρ
n
which
is defined naturally by an n-sheeted path integral on the boundary (for details see [13]).

We describe this prescription in detail in section 4. As one might expect, the cosmic brane
prescription limits to the RT formula as n → 1, because in that limit the tension vanishes
and the cosmic brane reduces to an extremal surface.
Because the cosmic brane prescription generalizes RT, it behooves us to investigate
whether the connection between RT and quantum error-correcting codes can be generalized
to the cosmic brane prescription. Let us formulate this question more precisely. Does the
refined Renyi entropy of eρ
A
from eq. (1.4) satisfy some formula like
e
S
n
(eρ
A
)
?
= tr(eρ
brane,A
L
A
) +
e
S
n,logical
, (1.9)
for some state eρ
brane,A
, where
e
S
n,logical
represents the refined Renyi entropy of the logical
state? If eρ
A
indeed satisfies such a formula, what determines the state eρ
brane,A
, and why
does this state manifest in AdS/CFT as inserting a brane with a particular tension into eρ
A
?
Our main result is to answer these questions. In short, yes: one can derive the cosmic
brane prescription within the formalism of OQEC, and we do this in section 4. Notably,
this derivation requires that the AdS/CFT code has certain special properties, which we
now explain by discussing refined Renyi entropy in general OQEC codes.
For a general OQEC code, the refined Renyi entropy of eρ
A
from eq. (1.4) is
e
S
n
(eρ
A
) =
X
α
p
(n)
α
e
S
n
(χ

e
S

where
p

α

P
α
eρ
n

tr(eρ
n
A
)
(1.11)
and P
α
=
P
i
|α, ii hα, i| is a projector onto a particular value of α. While this equation
bears some resemblance to eq. (1.9), they do not match in general.
Indeed, there are two aspects of the code that need to be true for eq. (1.9) to hold.
First, it must be the case that
X

S
n
(χ

It is important to note that ρ
n
is different in general than the original bulk state dual to ρ
A
. It is the
state of the matter fields prepared by a path integral on a bulk geometry with an n-sheeted boundary and
that satisfies the gravitational equations of motion everywhere. This matches our results below, in which
e
S
n,bulk
comes predominantly from the state of the bulk fields on the saddle geometry dual to the n-sheeted
boundary state.
