Ising Anyons: IsingAnyon

IsingAnyon represents the Ising modular fusion category. It has labels :I, , and ; the ASCII aliases :sigma and :psi are accepted by the constructor.

Sector type

TensorKitSectors.IsingAnyonType
struct IsingAnyon <: Sector
IsingAnyon(s::Symbol)

Represents the anyons of the Ising modular fusion category. It can take three values, corresponding to the trivial sector IsingAnyon(:I) and the non-trivial sectors IsingAnyon(:σ) and IsingAnyon(:ψ), with fusion rules $ψ ⊗ ψ = 1$, $σ ⊗ ψ = σ$, and $σ ⊗ σ = 1 ⊕ ψ$.

Fields

  • s::Symbol: the label of the represented anyon, which can be :I, , or .
source

All three sectors are self-dual, and the unit is IsingAnyon(:I).

Fusion Rules

The non-trivial fusion rules are

\[\psi \otimes \psi = I,\qquad \sigma \otimes \psi = \psi \otimes \sigma = \sigma,\qquad \sigma \otimes \sigma = I \oplus \psi.\]

Thus FusionStyle(IsingAnyon) = SimpleFusion(). The quantum dimensions are

\[d_I = 1,\qquad d_\psi = 1,\qquad d_\sigma = \sqrt{2}.\]

Topological Data

The non-trivial associator for four $\sigma$ anyons is

\[F^{\sigma\sigma\sigma}_{\sigma} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1\\ 1 & -1 \end{pmatrix},\]

in the intermediate basis $(I,\psi)$. Additional signs involving the fermion $\psi$ are encoded by Fsymbol.

The braiding style is Anyonic(). Important braiding phases are

\[R^{\sigma\sigma}_I = e^{-\pi i/8},\qquad R^{\sigma\sigma}_\psi = e^{3\pi i/8},\qquad R^{\psi\psi}_I = -1.\]

There is no fusion tensor as the fusion category does not originate from a group or its representations.

Iteration and basis conventions

values(IsingAnyon) iterates the labels in the order :I, , .
