Motivation

Yes!

The Haldane phase of spin-1 chains offers several interesting ideas:

I MBQC renormalization

I Holonomic QC from symmetry-protected topological order

Quantum computational renormalizationin the Haldane phase

First, the short version

I Can define MBQC model at the AKLT point, in the Haldane phaseI Gate fidelities decay as we move away from AKLTI But there’s an RG flow towards AKLT, so just measure the block spins!

I That would require multispin measurements, so you could do QC anywayI Simulate block measurements with single-site measurement & postselection!I QC ability is a property of the phase, in this sense

Advantages

I Just operate on the boundary spin (don’t consume spins, as in MBQC)I Only 2-body interactionsI Don’t need terribly long chains: edge modes well-localizedI Don’t even need chains at all: can terminate with spin-1/2s!

Or convert everything to spin-1/2.I Robust to symmetry-preserving disorder in the couplings:

Only care about total angular momentumI Gates “immune” to timing errors, intensity fluctuationsI Only need a small number of fixed control fields

I Indications of limited protection against local noise @ low temperaturesI Rotating bulk spins doesn’t affect the logical stateI Bigger rotations cost more energy; remove via coolingI Rotating boundary spin does affect the logical stateI Error rates should be suppressed
