اثر برهمکنش اسپین مدار یکنواخت و میدان مغناطیسی یکنواخت بر خواص توپولوژیکی یک نانو سیم یک بعدی کوانتومی
We theoretically demonstrate the interplay of uniform spin-orbit coupling and uniform Zeeman magnetic field on the topological properties of one-dimensional double well nano wire which is known as Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model. The system in the absence of Zeeman magnetic field and presence of uniform spin-orbit coupling exhibits topologically trivial/non–trivial insulator depending on the h...
متن کاملLocalization assisted quantum error correction in the toric code
Topological quantum error correcting codes are unique. Their non-trivial syndromes can be interpreted as quasiparticles, and logical errors correspond to the propagation of these in topologically non-trivial loops. Hence, to a much greater extent than other error correcting codes, a wealth of techniques from physics may be applied to understand the topological codes and enhance their power. Her...
متن کاملBreakdown of a topological phase: quantum phase transition in a loop gas model with tension.
We study the stability of topological order against local perturbations by considering the effect of a magnetic field on a spin model--the toric code--which is in a topological phase. The model can be mapped onto a quantum loop gas where the perturbation introduces a bare loop tension. When the loop tension is small, the topological order survives. When it is large, it drives a continuous quant...
متن کاملName : Mohamed Elmi Adviser : Philip Candelas
Oliver Lunt Adviser: Mihai Vidrighin My talk will be on quantum thermodynamics, and in particular will focus on an experimental realisation of Maxwell’s Demon in a photonic system, as described in doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.050401. I will describe the experimental setup, and talk about its relevance to quantum thermodynamics and quantum information. The Toric Code Abstract One of the most imp...
متن کاملQuantum topological phase transition at the microscopic level
We study a quantum phase transition between a phase which is topologically ordered and one which is not. We focus on a spin model, an extension of the toric code, for which we obtain the exact ground state for all values of the coupling constant that takes the system across the phase transition. We compute the entanglement and the topological entropy of the system as a function of this coupling...
