Novel Topological Phases and Self-Correcting Memories in Interacting Anyon Systems
arXiv:1305.1808 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.88.062312
Abstract
Recent studies have shown that topological models with interacting anyonic quasiparticles can be used as self-correcting quantum memories. Here we study the behaviour of these models at thermal equilibrium. It is found that the interactions allow topological order to exist at finite temperature, not only in an extension of the ground state phase but also in a novel form of topologically ordered phase. Both phases are found to support self-correction in all models considered, and the transition between them corresponds to a change in the scaling of memory lifetime with system size.
