- Abstract: We revisit the Kitaev model for fault tolerant quantum computing on a square
lattice with underlying quantum double $D(G)$ symmetry, where $G$ is a finite
group. We provide projection operators for its quasiparticles content as
irreducible representations of $D(G)$ and combine this with $D(G)$-bimodule
properties of open ribbon excitation spaces $L(s_0,s_1)$ to show how open
ribbons can be used to teleport information between their endpoints $s_0,s_1$.
We give a self-contained account that builds on earlier work but emphasises
applications to quantum computing as surface code theory, including gates on
$D(S_3)$. We show how the theory reduces to a simpler theory for toric codes in
the case of $D( \Bbb Z_n)\cong \Bbb C\Bbb Z_n^2$, including toric ribbon
operators and their braiding. In the other direction, we show how our
constructions generalise to $D(H)$ models based on a finite-dimensional Hopf
algebra $H$, including site actions of $D(H)$ and partial results on ribbon
equivariance even when the Hopf algebra is not semisimple.

A quantum double $D(G)=Bbb C(G)rtimes Bbb C G$ of a finite group plays an important role in the Kitaev model for quantum computing.
We interpret the known construction of its irreps, which are quasiparticles for the model, in a geometric manner strictly analogous to the Wigner construction for the usual Poincar'e group of $Bbb R1,3$.

Compressed Sensing [68.80803866919123]
Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously.
Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples.
We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

We provide a systematic treatment of boundaries based on subgroups $Ksubseteq G$ with the Kitaev quantum double $D(G)$ model in the bulk.
The boundary sites are representations of a $*$-subalgebra $Xisubseteq D(G)$ and we explicate its structure as a strong $*$-quasi-Hopf algebra.
As an application of our treatment, we study patches with boundaries based on $K=G$ horizontally and $K=e$ vertically and show how these could be used in a quantum computer

The observables associated with a quantum system $S$ form a non-commutative algebra $mathcal A_S$.
It is assumed that a density matrix $rho$ can be determined from the expectation values of observables.
Abelian algebras do not have inner automorphisms, so the measurement apparatus can determine mean values of observables.

Epsilon-nets and approximate unitary $t$-designs are notions of unitary operations relevant for numerous applications in quantum information and quantum computing.
We prove that for a fixed $d$ of the space, unitaries constituting $delta$-approx $t$-expanders form $epsilon$-nets for $tsimeqfracd5/2epsilon$ and $delta=left(fracepsilon3/2dright)d2$.
We show that approximate tdesigns can be generated
