Exploiting Anyonic Behavior of Quasicrystals for Topological Quantum Computing

Quantum Physics 2022-09-01 v1 Materials Science

Abstract

We show that quasicrystals exhibit anyonic behavior that can be used for topological quantum computing. In particular, we study a correspondence between the fusion Hilbert spaces of the simplest non-abelian anyon, the Fibonacci anyons, and the tiling spaces of a class of quasicrystals, which includes the one dimensional Fibonacci chain and the two dimensional Penrose tiling. A possible encoding on tiling spaces of topological quantum information processing is also discussed.
