Toric-boson model: Toward a topological quantum memory at finite temperature
Alioscia Hamma, Claudio Castelnovo, Claudio Chamon
We discuss the existence of stable topological quantum memory at finite temperature. At stake here is the fundamental question of whether it is, in principle, possible to store qua…

Topological order in a 3D toric code at finite temperature
Claudio Castelnovo, Claudio Chamon
We study topological order in a toric code in three spatial dimensions, or a 3+1D Z_2 gauge theory, at finite temperature. We compute exactly the topological entropy of the system,…
