Multi-impurity chiral Kondo model: Correlation functions and anyon fusion rules

Dor Gabay, Cheolhee Han, Pedro L. S. Lopes +2 more

The multichannel Kondo model supports effective anyons on the partially screened impurity, as suggested by its fractional impurity entropy. It was recently demonstrated for the multi-impurity chiral Kondo model, that scattering of an electron through the impurities depends on the anyon's total fusion channel. Here we study the correlation between impurity spins. We argue, based on a combination of conformal field theory, a perturbative limit with a large number of channels $k$, and the exactly solvable two-channel case, that the interimpurity spin correlation probes the anyon fusion of the pair of correlated impurities. This may allow, using measurement-only topological quantum computing protocols, to braid the multichannel Kondo anyons via consecutive measurements.

Exact Finite-Size Spectra in the Kondo Problem and Boundary Conformal Field Theory

Satoshi Fujimoto, N. Kawakami, Yang, S. -K.

The exact finite-size spectra for several quantum impurity models related to the Kondo problem are obtained from the Bethe ansatz solutions. Using the finite-size scaling in boundary conformal field theory, we determine various surface critical exponents from the exact spectrum, which accord with those obtained by Affleck and Ludwig with Kac-Moody fusion rules. Some applications to critical phenomena observed in connection with the orthogonality catastrophe are also discussed.
