Ancilla-Mediated Higher Entanglement as T-Duality, a Categorial Conjecture

Abstract

In this article, I start with a general presentation of the ideas behind sigma models and higher gauge theories and introduce the possibility of a higher entanglement structure. Using a higher categorial interpretation of entanglement involving gauge theories and σ-models instead of qubits, one recovers T-duality as a form of ancilla aided entanglement generation. This opens the way towards new dualities in gauge theories and σ-models produced by means of analogies with quantum circuits of various types.
