Motivated by recent experiments on the Kitaev honeycomb magnet α-RuCl_{3}, we introduce time-domain probes of the edge and quasiparticle content of non-Abelian spin liquids. Our scheme exploits ancillary quantum spins that communicate via time-dependent tunneling of energy into and out of the spin liquid's chiral Majorana edge state. We show that the ancillary-spin dynamics reveals the edge-state velocity and, in suitable geometries, detects individual non-Abelian anyons and emergent fermions…

Thermal Interferometry of Anyons in Spin Liquids.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that heat transport in Kitaev spin liquids through two distinct interferometer's geometries, Fabry-Perot and Mach-Zehnder, exhibit drastically different behaviors.

Although spin is a fundamental quantum number, measuring spin transport in traditional solid state systems is extremely challenging. This poses a major obstacle to detecting interesting quantum…
Majorana quantization and half-integer thermal quantum Hall effect in a Kitaev spin liquid
TLDR
Half-integer quantization of the thermal Hall effect in a Kitaev spin liquid reveals chiral currents of charge-neutral Majorana fermions around the edges of the sample, produced by strong electronic correlations.
Topologically protected quantum state transfer in a chiral spin liquid.
TLDR
This work proposes and analyse a topologically protected channel for the transfer of quantum states between remote quantum nodes and demonstrates that the proposed method is intrinsically robust to realistic imperfections associated with disorder and decoherence.
Direct observation of anyonic braiding statistics
Anyons are quasiparticles that, unlike fermions and bosons, show fractional statistics when two of them are exchanged. Here, we report the experimental observation of anyonic braiding statistics for…

A spin-1/2 system on a honeycomb lattice is studied. The interactions between nearest neighbors are of XX, YY or ZZ type, depending on the direction of the link; different types of interactions may…
Electrically tunable effective g-factor of a single hole in a lateral GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot
Electrical tunability of the $$g$$-factor of a confined spin is a long-time goal of the spin qubit field. Here we utilize the electric dipole spin resonance (EDSR) to demonstrate it in a gated GaAs…
Interference measurements of non-Abelian e/4 & Abelian e/2 quasiparticle braiding
The quantum Hall states at filling factors 5/2 and 7/2 are expected to have Abelian charge e/2 quasiparticles and non-Abelian charge e/4 quasiparticles. We test this by measuring resistance…
Observation of half-integer thermal Hall conductance
TLDR
Measurements of the thermal Hall conductance in the first excited Landau level of the quantum Hall effect show the existence of a state with non-Abelian excitations and perform topological unitary transformations when braided, which can be useful for topological quantum computation.

Abstract We explain how (perturbed) boundary conformal field theory allows us to understand the tunneling of edge quasiparticles in non-Abelian topological states. The coupling between a bulk…
