Anyon box in bilayer graphene

Protecting quantum information from environmental interference is essential for advancing quantum technologies. However, reading a quantum state or performing gate operations inevitably involves a coupling to the environment, leading to significant loss of coherence. To address this, the non-local degrees of freedom of topological phases of matter have been proposed for quantum information storage and manipulation. Prototypes of such phases include certain fractional quantum Hall states, found in 2D systems under a strong magnetic field, where pairs of quasiparticles, called non-abelian anyons, share a non-local degree of freedom known as the topological charge. However, detecting the…
