Code de KitaevLe code de Kitaev (aussi appelé le « code torique ») est un code de correction d'erreurs quantiques topologique, qui peut être défini par le formalisme des codes stabilisateurs sur un réseau carré 2D Ce code fait partie de la famille des codes de surfaces et il possède des conditions aux bords périodiques, ce qui forme donc un tore. Pour le code de Kitaev, il existe 2 types de stabilisateurs, les stabilisateurs de plaquettes et de sites. On peut interpréter ce code comme étant un ensemble de spin-1/2 (qubits physiques) placés sur chaque arête d'un réseau carré 2D.
Topological data analysisIn applied mathematics, topological data analysis (TDA) is an approach to the analysis of datasets using techniques from topology. Extraction of information from datasets that are high-dimensional, incomplete and noisy is generally challenging. TDA provides a general framework to analyze such data in a manner that is insensitive to the particular metric chosen and provides dimensionality reduction and robustness to noise. Beyond this, it inherits functoriality, a fundamental concept of modern mathematics, from its topological nature, which allows it to adapt to new mathematical tools.
Thermal quantum field theoryIn theoretical physics, thermal quantum field theory (thermal field theory for short) or finite temperature field theory is a set of methods to calculate expectation values of physical observables of a quantum field theory at finite temperature. In the Matsubara formalism, the basic idea (due to Felix Bloch) is that the expectation values of operators in a canonical ensemble may be written as expectation values in ordinary quantum field theory where the configuration is evolved by an imaginary time .
Finite topological spaceIn mathematics, a finite topological space is a topological space for which the underlying point set is finite. That is, it is a topological space which has only finitely many elements. Finite topological spaces are often used to provide examples of interesting phenomena or counterexamples to plausible sounding conjectures. William Thurston has called the study of finite topologies in this sense "an oddball topic that can lend good insight to a variety of questions". Let be a finite set.
