Anyons are particles obeying statistics of neither bosons nor fermions. Non-Abelian anyons, whose exchanges are described by a non-Abelian group acting on a set of wave functions, are attracting a great attention because of possible…

We have previously discussed the design of a neutral atom quantum computer with an on-demand interaction [E. Hosseini Lapasar, et al., J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 80, 114003 (2011)]. In this contribution, we propose an experimental method to…

The structure of quantum mechanics forbids a bipartite scenario for masking quantum information, however, it allows multipartite maskers. The Latin squares are found to be closely related to a series of tripartite maskers. This adds another…

We consider topological quantum memories for a general class of abelian anyon models defined on spin lattices. These are non-universal for quantum computation when restricting to topological operations alone, such as braiding and fusion.…

Building a quantum computer is a daunting challenge since it requires good control but also good isolation from the environment to minimize decoherence. It is therefore important to realize quantum gates efficiently, using as few operations…
