Day 794: Magnetic Fluxes (m-particles)

Day 794 of 2,016~21 min read

Learning Objectives

•Identify m-particles as violations of plaquette operators ($B_p = -1$)
•Construct X-string operators that create m-particle pairs
•Prove the bosonic self-statistics of m-particles
•Understand the electric-magnetic duality of the toric code
•Analyze m-particle behavior on the torus topology
•Connect m-particles to phase-flip error syndromes
