Combining physics, mathematics and computer science, topological quantum computation
is a rapidly expanding research area focused on the exploration of quantum evolutions that …

Finite-temperature (T) properties of a Kitaev model defined on a honeycomb lattice are
investigated by a quantum Monte Carlo simulation, from the viewpoint of fractionalization of …

We consider a two-dimensional (px+ ipy) superconductor in the presence of multiple
vortices, which support zero-energy Majorana-fermion states in their cores. Intervortex …

We consider topological superconductors and topological insulator/superconductor
structures in the presence of multiple static vortices that host Majorana modes and focus on …

We propose a local detection scheme for the Majorana zero mode (MZM) carried by a vison
in Kitaev's chiral spin liquid (CSL) using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The STM …

We investigate the exact solution of the honeycomb model proposed by Kitaev and derive
an explicit formula for the projector onto the physical subspace. The physical states are …

We investigate the nonlinear response of the Kitaev honeycomb lattice model in a weak
magnetic field using the theory of two-dimensional (2D) coherent spectroscopy. We observe …

We propose a quantum protocol that allows preparing a ground state (GS) of the honeycomb
Kitaev model. Our approach efficiently uses underlying symmetries and techniques from …

We provide a comprehensive microscopic understanding of the nucleation of topological
quantum liquids, a general mechanism where interactions between non-Abelian anyons …

We demonstrate numerically that non-Abelian quasihole (qh) excitations of the ν= 5/2
fractional quantum Hall state have some of the key properties necessary to support quantum …
