Topological degeneracy and vortex manipulation in Kitaev's honeycomb model
G. Kells, A. T. Bolukbasi, V. Lahtinen +3
The classification of loop symmetries in Kitaev's honeycomb lattice model provides a natural framework to study the abelian topological degeneracy. We derive a perturbative low-ene…

Non-abelian statistics from an abelian model
James R. Wootton, Ville Lahtinen, Zhenghan Wang +1
It is well known that the abelian anyonic model (toric code) can be realized on a highly entangled two-dimensional spin lattice, where the anyons are quasiparticles located a…
