Dynamical Anyon Generation in Kitaev Honeycomb Non-Abelian Spin Liquids

Journal Article Liu, Yue ; Slagle, Kevin ; Burch, Kenneth S. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Relativistic Mott insulators known as “Kitaev materials” potentially realize spin liquids hosting non-Abelian anyons. Motivated by fault-tolerant quantum-computing applications in this setting, we introduce a dynamical anyon-generation protocol that exploits universal edge physics. The setup features holes in the spin liquid, which define energetically cheap locations for non-Abelian anyons, connected by a narrow bridge that can be tuned between spin liquid and topologically trivial phases. We show that modulating the bridge from trivial to spin liquid over intermediate time scales—quantified by analytics and extensive simulations—deposits non-Abelian anyons into the holes with O(1) probability. The required bridge manipulations can be implementedmore »« less

Family of non-Abelian Kitaev models on a lattice: Topological condensation and confinement

Journal Article Bombin, H ; Martin-Delgado, M A - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We study a family of non-Abelian topological models in a lattice that arise by modifying the Kitaev model through the introduction of single-qudit terms. The effect of these terms amounts to a reduction in the discrete gauge symmetry with respect to the original systems, which corresponds to a generalized mechanism of explicit symmetry breaking. The topological order is either partially lost or completely destroyed throughout the various models. The systems display condensation and confinement of the topological charges present in the standard non-Abelian Kitaev models, which we study in terms of ribbon operator algebras.

Spectrum of the non-abelian phase in Kitaev's honeycomb lattice model

Journal Article Lahtinen, Ville ; Kells, Graham ; Carollo, Angelo ; ... - Annals of Physics (New York)

The spectral properties of Kitaev's honeycomb lattice model are investigated both analytically and numerically with the focus on the non-abelian phase of the model. After summarizing the fermionization technique which maps spins into free Majorana fermions, we evaluate the spectrum of sparse vortex configurations and derive the interaction between two vortices as a function of their separation. We consider the effect vortices can have on the fermionic spectrum as well as on the phase transition between the abelian and non-abelian phases. We explicitly demonstrate the 2{sup n}-fold ground state degeneracy in the presence of 2n well separated vortices and themore »« less
