A Scheme for Simulation of Quantum Gates by Abelian Anyons

Yao Shen, Qing Ai, Gui‐Lu Long

Anyons can be used to realize quantum computation, because they are two-level systems in two dimensions. In this paper, we propose a scheme to simulate single-qubit gates and CNOT gate using Abelian anyons in the Kitaev model. Two pairs of anyons (six spins) are used to realize single-qubit gates, while ten spins are needed for the CNOT gate. Based on these quantum gates, we show how to realize the Grover algorithm in a two-qubit system.

Non-Abelian Anyons in the Kitaev Honeycomb Model

Ahmet Tuna Bolukbasi

The non-Abelian Berry phase is an essential feature of non-Abelian anyons for the realization of topological quantum computation. This thesis is primarily a study about the numerical calculation of the Berry phase of non-Abelian anyons in the Kitaev honeycomb lattice model. It is also a guide for experimental the realizations of the actual brading process. We give an introduction to the theory of non-Abelian anyons, briefly discussing in what kind of systems they are realized, and their possible use in topological quantum computation. Non-Abelian anyons are studied within the Kitaev honeycomb model where they are realized on the plaquettes of the honeycomb lattice. The Kitaev honeycomb model can be solved exactly by using various fermionization methods. In this thesis, we review a solution based on Jordan-Wigner types of fermions which transform Hamiltonian to a fermionic quadratic form. This kind of fermionization procedure is quite general and can be applied to any trivalent spin lattice models. Moreover, we introduce Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method to solve general quadratic fermionic Hamiltonian and employ Bloch-Messiah theorem in order to write ground state wave function explicitly. Later, we apply these methods to honeycomb model and study the eigenstates of the model so that we can do the Berry phase calculation. The final chapter explains the details of the numerical calculation of the non-Abelian Berry phase. First, we show how to create and adiabatically move vortices in the honeycomb model. A brief review of the Berry phase is given including some discussion about a numerical approach. Later on Thouless’ representation of the ground state is introduced to calculate the Berry phase. All these theoretical tools are applied to a 4 vortex configuration of the model to calculate the non-Abelian Berry phase of the system on a particular path in the parameter space.

Real-time control of non-Abelian anyons in Kitaev spin liquid under energy dissipation

Chihiro Harada, Atsushi Ono, Joji Nasu

Quantum spin liquids realized in the Kitaev model offer a platform for fractionalization of spin into two quasiparticles: itinerant Majoranas and localized visons. Introducing a uniform weak magnetic field associates a Majorana zero mode with each vison excitation. The vison accompanied by a Majorana zero mode is known to behave as a non-Abelian anyon, which has garnered significant attention for its potential applications in topological quantum computing. Although spatial and temporal control of these anyons is essential for exploring their applicability in quantum computing, numerical simulations of creating, moving, and annihilating non-Abelian anyons by an external field remain challenging as this field violates the exact solvability of the Kitaev model. Moreover, such a field to control non-Abelian anyons may disturb the quantum state due to the energy injection it causes. In this study, by introducing energy dissipation phenomenologically in real-time simulations, we demonstrate that the generation, movement, and annihilation of vison excitations can be achieved while maintaining their localization. In particular, we find that a vison can be moved in a desired direction by using time-dependent local magnetic fields or gradient magnetic fields, and it remains accompanied by a Majorana zero mode even after its movement. We also reveal that a larger spatial extent of the Majorana zero modes bound to a vison facilitates the movement of the vison with smaller field gradients. Furthermore, our numerical simulations demonstrate pair creation and annihilation of visons, triggered by time-dependent magnetic fields. The results obtained in this study highlight the significance of energy dissipation in controlling non-Abelian anyons, which will stimulate further investigations into the nonequilibrium dynamics of fractional quasiparticles in strongly correlated electron systems, as well as studies for applications in topological quantum computation.
