Summary of results
In this work we investigate the chirality contribution of isolated 5–7 dislocations in Kitaev’s model. By defining Kitaev bond label configurations that preserve exact solvability even in the presence of dislocations (Fig.

Exploring quantum control landscape and solution space complexity through optimization algorithms and dimensionality reduction
We can study the QCL generated when using SGD, GA, QL, DQN and PPO for N-parameter optimization using (5). In order to generate the QCLs as a function of fidelity, we run 1000 experiments for each algorithm, hence generated 1000 data-points, we…
