Prethermal Strong Zero Modes and Topological Qubits

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Topological materials hold much promise for quantum computers that are highly tolerant to errors, but the information can be corrupted by thermally excited quasiparticles. New numerical simulations show that in some materials, quantum information can be protected for much longer than expected.
