Linked-cluster expansions of perturbed topological phases — •Viktor Kott, Matthias Mühlhauser, and Kai Phillip Schmidt — FAU, Erlangen-Nürnberg, Deutschland

We investigate the robustness of Kitaev's toric code in a uniform magnetic field on the square and honeycomb lattice by perturbative linked cluster expansions using a full graph decomposition. In particular, the full graph decomposition allows to correctly take into account the non-trivial mutual exchange statistics of the elementary anyonic excitations. This allows us to calculate the ground-state energy and excitation energies of the topological phase which are then used to study the quantum phase transitions out of the topologically ordered phase as a function of the field direction.
