对称保护拓扑（SPT）相为在受保护的边界自由度中编码量子信息提供了平台。本文研究三腿Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki（AKLT）梯，它是一种具有格点上对称性$SO(3)\times \mathbb{Z}_2$的严格可解SPT系统。利用严格的矩阵乘积态构造，我们刻画了对称性在边缘编码空间上的作用，以及局域算符对该空间的可及性。我们发现，连续的$SO(3)$对称性会诱导边界旋转，而腿交换对称性则会产生边缘量子比特的几何依赖逻辑置换。此外，通过引入受Knill--Laflamme条件启发的可区分性度量，我们推导出局域可及性的对称分辨衰减定律。该衰减由源于Wigner--Eckart定理的选择定则控制，即秩为$\ell$的局域算符仅耦合到$\mathcal L=\ell$的转移矩阵扇区，其衰减长度由对应的关联长度决定。我们进一步识别出一个与探针算符位置无关的有限尺寸通道。这些结果在SPT对称性、晶格几何与边界编码量子信息的保护之间建立了定量联系。
英文摘要
Symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases provide a platform for encoding quantum information in protected boundary degrees of freedom. Here we study the three-leg Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) ladder as an exactly solvable SPT system with on-site symmetry $SO(3)\times \mathbb{Z}_2$. Using an exact matrix product state construction, we characterize the symmetry action on the edge encoding space and the accessibility of this space by local operators. We find that the continuous $SO(3)$ symmetry induces boundary rotations, while the leg-exchange symmetry generates a geometry-dependent logical permutation of edge qubits. Furthermore, by introducing a distinguishability measure motivated by the Knill--Laflamme condition, we derive a symmetry-resolved decay law for local accessibility. The decay is controlled by a selection rule raised from the Wigner--Eckart theorem, whereby a rank-$\ell$ local operator couples only to the $\mathcal L=\ell$ transfer-matrix sector, with a decay length determined by the corresponding correlation length. We further identify a finite-size channel that is independent of the probe operator position. These results establish a quantitative connection between SPT symmetry, lattice geometry, and the protection of boundary-encoded quantum information.
