Quasiparticle statistics and braiding from ground-state entanglement
Quasiparticle statistics and braiding from ground-state entanglement
Topologically ordered phases are gapped states, defined by the properties of excitations when taken around one another. Here we demonstrate a method to extract the statistics and braiding of excitations, given just the set of ground-state wave functions on a torus. This is achieved by studying the Topological Entanglement Entropy …
