Abstract: We present a locality preserving unitary mapping from fermions to qubits on a two-dimensional torus while accounting for the mapping of topological sectors. Extending the work of Shukla et al. [Phys. Rev. B 101 , 155105 (2020)], an explicit intertwiner is constructed in the form of a projected entangled pair operator. By encoding the information about the charge sectors (and if applicable the twisted boundary conditions) in ancillary qubit(s), the intertwiner becomes a unitary operator which exchanges boundary conditions and charge sectors.
