This is a collection of lecture notes from three lectures given by Alexei Kitaev at the 2008 Les Houches summer school "Exact methods in low-dimensional physics and quantum computing." They provide a pedagogical introduction to topological phenomena in 1-D superconductors and in the 2-D topological phases of the toric code and honeycomb model.

  1. Moduli stacks of quiver connections and non-Abelian Hodge theory

    math.AG 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0

    Moduli stacks for diagrams of λ-connections are constructed and proven algebraic when the base is a smooth projective scheme over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.

  2. Work Statistics via Real-Time Effective Field Theory: Application to Work Extraction from Thermal Bath with Qubit Coupling

    quant-ph 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Real-time EFT expresses work distribution functions for a driven thermal bath plus qubit in terms of the quasiparticle spectral function, yielding second-order results that favor spin/topological qubits for work extraction.
