Topological Quantum Computation with Gapped Boundaries
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: This paper studies fault-tolerant quantum computation with gapped boundaries. We first introduce gapped boundaries of Kitaev's quantum double models for Dijkgraaf-Witten theories using their Hamiltonian realizations. We classify the elementary excitations on the boundary, and systematically describe the bulk-to-boundary condensation procedure. We also provide a commuting Hamiltonian to realize defects between boundaries in any quantum double model. Next, we present the algebraic/categorical structure of gapped boundaries and boundary defects, which will be used to describe topologically protected operations and obtain quantum gates. To demonstrate a potential physical realization, we provide quantum circuits for surface codes that can perform all basic operations on gapped boundaries. Finally, we show how gapped boundaries of the abelian theory can be used to perform universal quantum computation.
