  • 3-Fermion Topological Quantum Computation [1]
    3-Fermion topological quantum computation [1] Sam Roberts1 and Dominic J. Williamson2 1Centre for Engineered Quantum Systems, School of Physics, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia 2Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA I. INTRODUCTION Topological quantum computation (TQC) is currently the most promising approach to scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computation. In recent years, the focus has been on TQC with Kitaev's toric code [2], due to it's high threshold to noise [3, 4], and amenability to planar architectures with nearest neighbour interactions. To encode and manipulate quantum information in the toric code, a variety of techniques drawn from condensed matter contexts have been utilised. In particular, some of the efficient approaches for TQC with the toric code rely on creating and manipulating gapped-boundaries, symmetry defects and anyons of the underlying topological phase of matter [5{ 10]. Despite great advances, the overheads for universal fault-tolerant quantum computation remain a formidable challenge. It is therefore important to analyse the potential of TQC in a broad range of topological phases of matter, and attempt to find new computational substrates that require fewer quantum resources to execute fault-tolerant quantum computation. In this work we present an approach to TQC for more general anyon theories based on the Walker{Wang mod- els [11]. This provides a rich class of spin-lattice models in three-dimensions whose boundaries can naturally be used to topologically encode quantum information. The two-dimensional boundary phases of Walker{Wang models accommodate a richer set of possibilities than stand-alone two-dimensional topological phases realized by commuting projector codes [12, 13].

    Physics of the Kitaev model: fractionalization, dynamical correlations, and material connections M. Hermanns1, I. Kimchi2, J.

J. Thomson Avenue, Cambridge, CB3 0HE, United Kingdom Quantum spin liquids have fascinated condensed matter physicists for decades because of their unusual properties such as spin fractionalization and long-range entanglement. Unlike conventional symmetry breaking the topological order underlying quantum spin liquids is hard to detect exper- imentally. Even theoretical models are scarce for which the ground state is established to be a quantum spin liquid. The Kitaev honeycomb model and its generalizations to other tri-coordinated lattices are chief counterexamples | they are exactly solvable, harbor a variety of quantum spin liquid phases, and are also relevant for certain transition metal compounds including the polymorphs of (Na,Li)2IrO3 Iridates and RuCl3. In this review, we give an overview of the rich physics of the Kitaev model, including 2D and 3D fractionalization as well as dynamical correlations and behavior at finite temperatures. We discuss the different materials, and argue how the Kitaev model physics can be relevant even though most materials show magnetic ordering at low temperatures. arXiv:1705.01740v1 [cond-mat.str-el] 4 May 2017 2 CONTENTS I.

All rights reserved. 2 Simon Trebst 1 Spin-orbit entangled Mott insulators Transition-metal oxides with partially filled 4d and 5d shells exhibit an intricate interplay of electronic, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom arising from a largely accidental balance of electronic correlations, spin-orbit entanglement, and crystal-field effects [1]. With different ma- terials exhibiting slight tilts towards one of the three effects, a remarkably broad variety of novel forms of quantum matter can be explored. On the theoretical side, topology is found to play a crucial role in these systems – an observation which, in the weakly correlated regime, has lead to the discovery of the topological band insulator [2, 3] and subsequently its metallic cousin, the Weyl semi-metal [4, 5]. Upon increasing electronic correlations, Mott insulators with unusual local moments such as spin-orbit entangled degrees of freedom can form and whose collective behavior gives rise to unconventional types of magnetism including the formation of quadrupo- lar correlations or the emergence of so-called spin liquid states.

  • Some Comments on Physical Mathematics
    Preprint typeset in JHEP style - HYPER VERSION Some Comments on Physical Mathematics Gregory W. Moore Abstract: These are some thoughts that accompany a talk delivered at the APS Savannah meeting, April 5, 2014. I have serious doubts about whether I deserve to be awarded the 2014 Heineman Prize. Nevertheless, I thank the APS and the selection committee for their recognition of the work I have been involved in, as well as the Heineman Foundation for its continued support of Mathematical Physics. Above all, I thank my many excellent collaborators and teachers for making possible my participation in some very rewarding scientific research. 1 I have been asked to give a talk in this prize session, and so I will use the occasion to say a few words about Mathematical Physics, and its relation to the sub-discipline of Physical Mathematics. I will also comment on how some of the work mentioned in the citation illuminates this emergent field. I will begin by framing the remarks in a much broader historical and philosophical context. I hasten to add that I am neither a historian nor a philosopher of science, as will become immediately obvious to any expert, but my impression is that if we look back to the modern era of science then major figures such as Galileo, Kepler, Leibniz, and New- ton were neither physicists nor mathematicans. Rather they were Natural Philosophers. Even around the turn of the 19th century the same could still be said of Bernoulli, Euler, Lagrange, and Hamilton. But a real divide between Mathematics and Physics began to open up in the 19th century.

The anyonic properties of excitation depend on m mod 16, whereas m itself governs edge thermal transport.The paper also provides mathematical background on anyons as well as an elementary theory of Chern number for quasidiagonal matrices.

Certainly, the main result of the paper is an exact solution of a particular two-dimen- sional quantum model.However, I was sitting on that result for too long, trying to perfect it, derive some properties of the model, and put them into a more general framework.Thus many ramifications have come along.Some of them stem from the desire to avoid the use of conformal field theory, which is more relevant to edge excitations rather than the bulk * Fax: +1 626 5682764.

A particular emphasis is placed on the topological solitons in the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase, which exhibits both superfluidity and superconductivity. The properties of topological solitons are dis- cussed in terms of effective field theories such as the Ginzburg-Landau theory, the chiral Lagrangian, or the Bogoliubov{de Gennes equation. The most fundamental string-like topological excitations in the CFL phase are the non-Abelian vortices, which are 1/3 quantized superfluid vortices and color magnetic flux tubes. These vortices are created at a phase transition by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism or when the CFL phase is realized in compact stars, which rotate rapidly.

    WELCOME From the Chair, Mary Lowe Good cience and technology are key to the welfare of our global village. In 2001, we were reminded again of the importance of research to the well-being Sof people everywhere. Forensic genomics, chemical analysis, and other such pursuits—once arcane to all but specialists—became familiar to a larger audience, as news of efforts to understand tragedy reached us through newspapers, televisions, radios and the Internet. Scientific discussion, confined to Victorian-era parlors since the days of Darwinian debate, claimed a more central location on our cultural stage. As the public’s perception of and appreciation for science and technology changes, the AAAS and its membership are preparing to take on a larger leadership role on behalf of science and its applications. The new AAAS rallying cry, “Advancing science • Serving society,” reflects a desire to build more and better bridges between policymakers, scientists, educators, and the average citizen. After all, the population keeps growing while 2001 farmland disappears, and we’re living longer than ever before, demanding better shelter, education, health care, and sanitation. Improved quality of life also requires answers to fundamental mysteries—from our cosmic origins, to our REPORT social and geographic paths as we peopled the Earth. In 2001, basic and applied research delivered practical advances and esoteric knowledge alike: Molecule-sized circuits— ANNUAL so small that billions could fit on today’s computer chips—were named the year’s top scientific achievement, promising 1 computers that translate conversations on the fly, or solve climate-change riddles in a snap.
