Twisted quantum triple (TQT) code[14]

Alternative names: 3D Dijkgraaf-Witten gauge theory code.

Description

Group-based code realizing a 3D topological order rendered by a Dijkgraaf-Witten gauge theory. The corresponding anyon theory is defined by a finite group \(G\) and a Type-IV group cocycle \(\omega\). Canonical TQD models [1,2] and other formulations whose ground states are in the same phase are all defined on group-valued qudits .

Boundaries and excitations have been studied in Refs. [57]. Gapped boundaries are classified by a subgroup \(K \subseteq G\) and a particular three-cochain [5]. Generalizations of Ocneanu's tube algebras [8,9] can be used to characterize excitations, which are described by the tube algebra of the category \(\text{Vec}^{\omega}(G)\) [10,11].

Primary Hierarchy

Parents
Restricting Dijkgraaf-Witten gauge theory to a 3D manifold reproduces the phase of the TQT model.
Twisted quantum triple (TQT) code
Children
The anyon theory corresponding to a quantum-triple code is a TQT with trivial cocycle.
