Raginsky Physics Letters A 294 (3-4): 153-157 FEB 25 2002 Abstract Inspired by Kitaev's argument that physical error correction is possible in a system of interacting anyons, we demonstrate that such "self-correction" is fairly common in spin systems with classical Hamiltonians that admit the Peierls argument and where errors are modelled by quantum perturbations.         Home | About the Program | Our Research | Publications | People Related MURIs | Contact © Massachusetts Institute of Technology
