Anyonic symmetry and twist defects
… Abelian theories, and as a result allow for defects which host non-Abelian zero modes. We first formulate the symmetries of the anyonic excitations of Abelian topological states. Then, we study properties of semiclassical point defects, called twist defects, which permute orbiting anyons by …

Magic and Majorana Fermions in Quantum Computing, Topological Matter, and Dynamics
… of anyonic excitations, boundaries and “twist defects” (lattice defects that can store quantum information) in these codes. Finding that twist defects can store logical Majorana fermions, as well as regular logical qubits expected, we introduce methods for computing with all topologically …

Defects, topology, and the geometric phase in condensed matter physics
… physics, particularly geometric phases and defects. The first chapter deals with pentagonal disclinations in graphene and their associated bound states. This problem had been attacked previously, using index theorems, as well as the solutions of the continuum Dirac equation. We demonstrated …

Engineering Topological Quantum Matter with Patterned Light
… a bilayer optical lattice with multiple pairs of twist defects. We explain how a spin-dependent optical lattice can serve as the bilayer optical lattice for this purpose. We discuss how fractional quantum Hall states can be loaded on this surface, as well as manipulation and measurement techniques …

Many-body localization and tensor networks
… that studies the influence of the duality-twisted boundary conditions on the critical twist defect chains. The MBL-ergodic transition is a dynamical phase transition which happens at finite energy density for a disordered and isolated many-body interacting system. It is a natural extension …
