Revealing anyonic features in a toric code quantum simulation
J. K. Pachos, W. Wieczorek, C. Schmid +3
Anyons are quasiparticles in two-dimensional systems that show statistical properties very distinct from those of bosons or fermions. While their isolated observation has not yet b…
Chiral entanglement in triangular lattice models
D. I. Tsomokos, J. J. Garcia-Ripoll, N. R. Cooper +1
We consider the low energy spectrum of spin-1/2 two-dimensional triangular lattice models subject to a ferromagnetic Heisenberg interaction and a three spin chiral interaction of v…
Why should anyone care about computing with anyons?
Gavin K. Brennen, Jiannis K. Pachos
In this article we present a pedagogical introduction of the main ideas and recent advances in the area of topological quantum computation. We give an overview of the concept of an…
Zero modes of various graphene configurations from the index theorem
Jiannis K. Pachos, Agapitos Hatzinikitas, Michael Stone
In this article we consider a graphene sheet that is folded in various compact geometries with arbitrary topology described by a certain genus, . While the Hamiltonian of these…
