Anyonic entanglement renormalization
Robert Koenig, Ersen Bilgin
We introduce a family of variational ansatz states for chains of anyons which optimally exploits the structure of the anyonic Hilbert space. This ansatz is the natural analog of th…

Approximating Turaev-Viro 3-manifold invariants is universal for quantum computation
Gorjan Alagic, Stephen P. Jordan, Robert Koenig +1
The Turaev-Viro invariants are scalar topological invariants of compact, orientable 3-manifolds. We give a quantum algorithm for additively approximating Turaev-Viro invariants of…
