Non-Abelian anyons: when Ising meets Fibonacci
We consider an interface between two non-Abelian quantum Hall states: the
Moore-Read state, supporting anyons of Ising type, and the k=2 NASS
(non-Abelian spin-singlet) state, supporting anyons of Fibonacci type. It is
shown that the interface supports neutral excitations described by a 1+1
dimensional conformal field theory with central charge c=7/10. We discuss
effects of the mismatch of the quantum statistical properties of the
quasi-holes between the two sides, as reflected by the interface theory.Comment: As published in PR
From spin to anyon notation: The XXZ Heisenberg model as a (or ) anyon chain
We discuss a relationship between certain one-dimensional quantum spin chains
and anyon chains. In particular we show how the XXZ Heisenberg chain is
realised as a (alternately ) anyon model. We find the
difference between the models lie primarily in choice of boundary condition.Comment: 13 page
