摘 要:Topological orders are gapped quantum liquid states without any symmetry. Most of their properties can be captured by investigating topological defects and excitations of various dimensions. Topological defects in n dimensions naturally form a (weak) n-category. In particular, anomalous topological order (boundary theory) is described by fusion n-category and anomaly-free topological ord...
Abstract: Conformal field theory, describing systems with scaling symmetry, plays a crucial role throughout physics. In this presentation I will describe how to simulate quantum field theories, including conformal field theories, with quantum computers. As I will explain, the main challenge is to find a meaningful way to compare the discrete with the continuum
