Bifurcation in Entanglement Renormalization Group Flow of a Gapped Spin Model
summary
A constant-depth quantum circuit (depth-32 circuit) maps the cubic-code ground state to a tensor product of two stabilizer ground states: one is the original cubic code coarse-grained by factor 2 and the other is a new commuting Pauli code that itself splits under a ≈100-layer Clifford circuit into two self-similar copies, producing a branching MERA. The derivation uses a polynomial translation-invariant stabilizer encoding and an explicit Mathematica CNOT script to perform row operations; degeneracy obeys a gcd-of-polynomials formula (power-of-two sizes give K ~ 4L envelope) and area-law entanglement persists in 3D.
