Analytic calculation of the vison gap in the Kitaev spin liquid
Aaditya Panigrahi, Piers Coleman, Alexei Tsvelik
Although the ground-state energy of the Kitaev spin liquid can be calculated exactly, the associated vison gap energy has to date only been calculated numerically from finite size…

Topological Quantum Computation on a Chiral Kondo Chain
Tianhao Ren, Elio J. König, Alexei M. Tsvelik
We describe the chiral Kondo chain model based on the symplectic Kondo effect and demonstrate that it has a quantum critical ground state populated by non-Abelian anyons. We show t…
