In their new work, Universality of critical dynamics with finite entanglement, the goal is to understand how a famous dynamical process, the quantum Kibble-Zurek mechanism, is affected by different kinds of errors that limit entanglement. Since this mechanism is widely used to study phase transitions with quantum emulators and computers, understanding its robustness is crucial to future applications of quantum computing. This work will help to answer the question of how much noise one can tolerate in a quantum computer to have a quantum advantage.
