Yang-Baxter systems, solutions and applications (original) (raw)

From the braided to the usual Yang-Baxter relation

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 2001

Quantum monodromy matrices coming from a theory of two coupled (m)KdV equations are modified in order to satisfy the usual Yang-Baxter relation. As a consequence, a general connection between braided and unbraided (usual) Yang-Baxter algebras is derived and also analysed.

Generalized Yang-Baxter Equations and Braiding Quantum Gates

2011

Solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation - an important equation in mathematics and physics - and their afforded braid group representations have applications in fields such as knot theory, statistical mechanics, and, most recently, quantum information science. In particular, unitary representations of the braid group are desired because they generate braiding quantum gates. These are actively studied in the ongoing research into topological quantum computing. A generalized Yang-Baxter equation was proposed a few years ago by Eric Rowell et al. By finding solutions to the generalized Yang-Baxter equation, we obtain new unitary braid group representations. Our representations give rise to braiding quantum gates and thus have the potential to aid in the construction of useful quantum computers.

Extraspecial Two-Groups, Generalized Yang-Baxter Equations and Braiding Quantum Gates

2007

In this paper we describe connections among extraspecial 2-groups, unitary representations of the braid group and multi-qubit braiding quantum gates. We first construct new representations of extraspecial 2-groups. Extending the latter by the symmetric group, we construct new unitary braid representations, which are solutions to generalized Yang-Baxter equations and use them to realize new braiding quantum gates. These gates generate

Multiparametric and Colored Extensions of the Quantum Group GLq(N) and the Yangian Algebra Y(glN) Through a Symmetry Transformation of the Yang-Baxter Equation

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1997

Inspired by Reshetikhin's twisting procedure to obtain multiparametric extensions of a Hopf algebra, a general "symmetry transformation" of the "particle conserving" R-matrix is found such that the resulting multiparametric R-matrix, with a spectral parameter as well as a color parameter, is also a solution of the Yang-Baxter equation (YBE). The corresponding transformation of the quantum YBE reveals a new relation between the associated quantized algebra and its multiparametric deformation. As applications of this general relation to some particular cases, multiparametric and colored extensions of the quantum group GLq(N) and the Yangian algebra Y(glN) are investigated and their explicit realizations are also discussed. Possible interesting physical applications of such extended Yangian algebras are indicated.

Yang–Baxterizations, Universal Quantum Gates and Hamiltonians

Quantum Information Processing, 2005

The unitary braiding operators describing topological entanglements can be viewed as universal quantum gates for quantum computation. With the help of the Brylinski's theorem, the unitary solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation can be also related to universal quantum gates. This paper derives unitary solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation via Yang-Baxterization from the solutions of the braid relation. We study Yang-Baxterizations of the non-standard and standard representations of the six-vertex model and the complete solutions of the non-vanishing eight-vertex model. We construct Hamiltonians responsible for the time-evolution of the unitary braiding operators which lead to the Schrödinger equations.

Regular solutions of quantum Yang-Baxter equation from weak hopf algebras

Czechoslovak Journal of Physics, 2001

Generalization of Hopf algebra SIq (2) by weakening the invertibility of the generator K, i.e., exchanging its invertibility KK -1 = 1 to the regularity K-KK ---K is studied. Two weak Hopf algebras are introduced: a weak Hopf algebra wsIq (2) and a J-weak Hopf algebra VSiq (2) which are investigated in detail. The monoids of group-like elements of wsIq (2) and VSiq (2) are regular monoids, which supports the general conjucture on the connection betweek weak Hopf algebras and regular monoids. A quasi-braided weak Hopf algebra ~qq is constructed from ws[q (2). It is shown that the corresponding quasi-R-matrix is regular R~' R~ R ~ = R ~.

Solution of the Yang–Baxter System for Quantum Doubles

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1999

The Yang–Baxter system related to quantum doubles is introduced and a large class of both continuous and discrete symmetries of the solution manifold are determined. A strategy for solution of the system based on the symmetries is suggested and accomplished in dimension 2. A complete list of invertible solutions of the system is presented.

Solutions of the Yang-Baxter Equations from Braided-Lie Algebras and Braided Groups

Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications, 1995

We obtain an R-matrix or matrix representation of the Artin braid group acting in a canonical way on the vector space of every (super)-Lie algebra or braided-Lie algebra. The same result applies for every (super)-Hopf algebra or braided-Hopf algebra. We recover some known representations such as those associated to racks. We also obtain new representations such as a non-trivial one on the ring k[x] of polynomials in one variable, regarded as a braided-line. Representations of the extended Artin braid group for braids in the complement of S1 are also obtained by the same method.

Introduction to the Yang-Baxter Equation with Open Problems

The Yang-Baxter equation first appeared in theoretical physics, in a paper by the Nobel laureate C. N. Yang, and in statistical mechanics, in R. J. Baxter's work. Later, it turned out that this equation plays a crucial role in: quantum groups, knot theory, braided categories, analysis of integrable systems, quantum mechanics, non-commutative descent theory, quantum computing, non-commutative geometry, etc. Many scientists have found solutions for the Yang-Baxter equation, obtaining qualitative results (using the axioms of various algebraic structures) or quantitative results (usually using computer calculations). However, the full classification of its solutions remains an open problem. In this paper, we present the (set-theoretical) Yang-Baxter equation, we sketch the proof of a new theorem, we state some problems, and discuss about directions for future research.
