Stochastic strong zero modes and their dynamical manifestations

Strong zero modes (SZMs) are conserved operators localised at the edges of certain quantum spin chains, which give rise to long coherence times of edge spins. Here we define and analyse analogous operators in one-dimensional classical stochastic systems. For concreteness, we focus on chains with sin...
