Abstract

The 2D toric code is a prototypical example that exhibits non-trivial topological properties and a ground state possessing a non-trivial topological order. Until now, all the cases studied in the literature have been in the stable equilibrium regime, leaving the relaxation towards this state unexplored. In the present work, the dynamics of the toric code towards stable equilibrium is explored within the steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamic (SEAQT) framework. Under these dynamics, information correlations such as the relative entropy, logarithmic negativity, magnetization, coherent information, and geometric entropy are described out of equilibrium, permitting a connection to be made between the out-of-equilibrium dynamics and these information measures.
