Excursions through flatland: braiding interactions of anyons
Presented by Gavin Brennen, Macquarie University
In systems with physics constrained to two In systems with physics constrained to two dimensions, point like particles named anyons can exist which have more general exchange statistics than bosons or fermions. While these particles emerge as quasiparticle excitions from strongly correlated ``vacuum" states, they are classical like in the sense of being robust to perturbations.
I will discuss the transport properties of anyons in the presence of ordered and random topological environments. Using both a discrete time quantum walk model and a continuous time Hubbard model we find very distinct behaviours for Abelian and non-Abelian anyons which could be observed in experiment and have implications for topological quantum information processing.
