Stabilizer codes allow for non-local encoding and processing of quantum information. Deformations of stabilizer surface codes introduce new and non-trivial geometry, in particular leading to emergence of long sought after objects known as projective Ising non-Abelian anyons. Braiding of such anyons is a key ingredient of topological quantum computation. We suggest a simple and systematic approach to construct effective unitary protocols for braiding, manipulation and readout of non-Abelian anyons and preparation of their entangled states. We generalize the surface code to a more generic graph with vertices of degree 2, 3 and 4. Our approach is based on the mapping of the stabilizer code defined on such a graph onto a model of Majorana fermions charged with respect to two emergent gauge fields. One gauge field is akin to the physical magnetic field. The other one is responsible for emergence of the non-Abelian anyonic statistics and has a purely geometric origin. This field arises from assigning certain rules of orientation on the graph known as the Kasteleyn orientation in the statistical theory of dimer coverings. Each 3-degree vertex on the graph carries the flux of this "Kasteleyn" field and hosts a non-Abelian anyon. In our approach all the experimentally relevant operators are unambiguously fixed by locality, unitarity and gauge invariance. We illustrate the power of our method by making specific prescriptions for experiments verifying the non-Abelian statistics.

Enhanced thermal stability of the toric code through coupling to a bosonic bath
我们提出并研究了一个量子存储器模型,该模型具有自校正特性,并且在非零温度下寿命随系统尺寸任意增长。这是通过将2D L x L复曲面代码局部耦合到立方晶格上跳跃的3D玻色子浴来实现的。当复曲面代码的稳定算子耦合到玻色子的位移算子时,我们通过极化子变换精确地求解模型,并表明创建任意子的能量惩罚随L线性增长。当复曲面码的稳定子算符与玻色密度算符耦合时,我们利用微扰理论证明了任意子的能量罚与ln(L)成比例。对于给定的误差模型,这些能量损失导致所存储的量子信息的寿命分别随L指数地和多项式地增长。此外,我们展示了如何选择一个适当的耦合方案,以阻碍跳跃的任意子(而不仅仅是他们的创造)与能量障碍是相同的顺序作为任意子创建间隙。我们认为,一个复曲面代码耦合到一个3D海森堡铁磁体实现我们的模型在其低能量部门。最后,我们讨论了在扰动存在下拓扑序的稳定性这一微妙的问题。虽然我们没有得到严格的证明拓扑顺序,我们提出了启发式的参数表明,拓扑顺序保持不变时,扰动算子作用于环面代码自旋耦合到玻色子环境。
