Topological Order with a Twist: Ising Anyons from an Abelian Model Speaker(s): Hector Bombin
Abstract: Anyon models can be symmetric under some permutations of their topological charges. One can then conceive topological defects that, under monodromy, transform anyons according to a symmetry. We study the realization of such defects in the toric code model, showing that a process where defects ... read more

Interacting Anyonic Fermions in a Two-Body Color Code Model Speaker(s): Hector Bombin
Abstract: We introduce a two-body quantum Hamiltonian model of spin-1/2 on a 2D spatial lattice with exact topological degeneracy in all coupling regimes. There exists a gapped phase in which the low-energy sector reproduces an effective color code model. High energy excitations fall into three families of an... read more

Statistical Mechanical Models and Topological Color Codes. Speaker(s): Hector Bombin
Abstract: We find that the overlapping of a topological quantum color code state, representing a quantum memory, with a factorized state of qubits can be written as the partition function of a 3-body classical Ising model on triangular or Union Jack lattices. This mapping allows us to test that different comp... read more
