Scheme for Demonstration of Fractional Statistics of Anyons in an Exactly Solvable Model
Scheme for Demonstration of Fractional Statistics of Anyons in an Exactly Solvable Model
We propose a scheme to demonstrate fractional statistics of anyons in an exactly solvable lattice model proposed by Kitaev that involves four-body interactions. The required many-body ground state, as well as the anyon excitations and their braiding operations, can be conveniently realized through dynamic laser manipulation of cold atoms in …
