Permutation-symmetric critical phases in disordered non-Abelian anyonic chains
Permutation-symmetric critical phases in disordered non-Abelian anyonic chains
Topological phases supporting non-abelian anyonic excitations have been proposed as candidates for topological quantum computation. In this paper, we study disordered non-abelian anyonic chains based on the quantum groups $SU(2)_k$, a hierarchy that includes the $\nu=5/2$ FQH state and the proposed $\nu=12/5$ Fibonacci state, among others. We find that for …
