Quasiparticle statistics and braiding from ground-state entanglement

Y Zhang, T Grover, A Turner, M Oshikawa… - Physical Review B …, 2012 - APS
Topologically ordered phases are gapped states, defined by the properties of excitations

Chiral spin liquid and emergent anyons in a Kagome lattice Mott insulator

B Bauer, L Cincio, BP Keller, M Dolfi, G Vidal… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
Topological phases in frustrated quantum spin systems have fascinated researchers for
decades. One of the earliest proposals for such a phase was the chiral spin liquid, a bosonic …

Exact chiral spin liquid with non-abelian anyons

H Yao, SA Kivelson - Physical review letters, 2007 - APS
We establish the existence of a chiral spin liquid (CSL) as the exact ground state of the
Kitaev model on a decorated honeycomb lattice, which is obtained by replacing each site in …
