The spectrum of quasinormal modes of 4D flat space black holes is not analytically tractable, but there are two asymptotic limits where the QNM spectrum is under control: weak damping […]
In the case of manifolds, Hirzebruch showed how to unify the theories of characteristic classes of Chern, Todd and Thom-Hirzebruch. These three theories have been generalized to the case of […]
One potential route toward fault-tolerant universal quantum computation is to use the non-Abelian topological codes. In this work, we investigate how to perform computation with a specific non-Abelian topological order---the […]
