[quantum-info] Next week's PIQuDos

[Markus Mueller]

Hi all,

please join us on Monday at 4 pm for a PIQuDos seminar by Beni Yoshida.


Title: *Exotic topological order from quantum fractal code*
Speaker: *Beni Yoshida* (MIT and Caltech)

Abstract:
We present a family of three-dimensional local quantum codes with pairs 
of fractal logical operators. It has two polynomials over finite fields 
as input parameters which generate fractal shapes of anti-commuting 
logical operators, and possesses exotic topological order with quantum 
glassiness which is beyond descriptions of conventional topological 
field theory. A necessary and sufficient condition for being free from 
string-like logical operators is obtained under which the model works as 
marginally self-correcting quantum memory. We also provide theoretical 
tools to analyze physical and coding properties of translation symmetric 
stabilizer Hamiltonians.
