Detecting Non-Abelian Statistics in the nu=5/2 Fractional Quantum Hall State
Parsa Bonderson, Alexei Kitaev, Kirill Shtengel
In this letter we propose an interferometric experiment to detect non-Abelian quasiparticle statistics -- one of the hallmark characteristics of the Moore-Read state expected to de…
Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem for quasi-topological systems
Michael Freedman, Chetan Nayak, Kirill Shtengel
In this paper we address the question of the existence of a spectral gap in a class of local Hamiltonians. These Hamiltonians have the following properties: their ground states are…
No sliding in time
Kirill Shtengel, Chetan Nayak, Waheb Bishara +1
In this letter, we analyse the following apparent paradox: As has been recently proved by Hastings (cond-mat/0305505), under a general set of conditions, if a local Hamiltonian has…
