Beyond braid anyons: A lattice model for one-dimensional anyons with a Galilean invariant continuum limit

S Nagies, B Wang, AC Knapp, A Eckardt… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
Anyonic exchange statistics can emerge when the configuration space of quantum particles

Non-Abelian anyons in a periodically-driven Abelian model

F Petiziol - arxiv preprint arxiv:2402.04131, 2024 - arxiv.org
We show that non-Abelian anyons can emerge from an Abelian topologically-ordered model
subject to time-periodic driving, with the specific example of Ising anyons in a driven toric …

Necessity of orthogonal basis vectors for the two-anyon problem in one-dimensional lattice

C Zheng, J **e, M Zhang, Y Chen, Y Zhang - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
