XX model.

Cluster states.

Dual transformation.

Boundary effects, Phase transition and criticality.

Topological order A phase which cannot be described by the Landau

framework of symmetry breaking. Three different characterization of the topological order.

◦ Insensitivity to local perturbation. ◦ Ground state degeneracy to the boundary condition.◦ Topological entropy.

Relationship between the topological order and fault tolerance.

Conceptual relationship between topological order and entanglement.◦ Entanglement is global properties in the system.◦ Entanglement is sensitive to degeneracy (Pure vs Mixed )

Criticality indicatorLong range order

Off-diagonal LRO

Even more creative : Two dimensional phase transitions.

Entanglement as Energy

Think of phase transition as tradeoff between energy and entropy:

Diagonalising ClusterJordan Wigner transformation leads

to free fermions (“hopping” between next to nearest neighbours)

Probability looks like N independent fermions

Dual transformation (Fradkin-Susskind).

Definition.

Duality ◦ Emergence of qusi-particles (discuss XX).◦ Identification of critical point. ◦ Change of state and entanglement.

DiscussionApplied standard methods of statistical

physics and solid state to computing; Can think of entanglement as

equivalent to energy (free energy)Should do the same analysis in 2D (JW

ambiguity)Can all topological phases support

computing?Could we map between circuits and

clusters?
