Abelian Anyons on Flux-Quantized M5-Branes
Abelian Anyons on Flux-Quantized M5-Branes
While fractional quantum Hall systems provide the best experimental evidence yet of (abelian) anyons plausibly necessary for future fault-tolerant quantum computation, like all strongly-coupled quantum systems their physics is not deeply understood. However, generally a promising approach is to (holographically) realize such systems on branes in string/M-theory; and specifically an …
