Abstract

Chirality is a fundamental feature of many-body physics, typically manifesting through the breaking of time-reversal symmetry. Yet a precise quantum information-theoretic characterization of chirality has remained elusive. A recent proposal defines a state as chiral if transforming it into its complex conjugate requires a circuit of large depth. Here, we rigorously establish many-body chirality for a broad family of two-dimensional stabilizer pure and mixed states. We also prove that these states are 4-partite chiral, but not 3-partite chiral.
