A Hierarchy of Anyon Models Realised by Twists in Stacked Surface Codes

Braiding defects in topological stabiliser codes can be used to fault-tolerantly implement logical operations. Twists are defects corresponding to the end-points of domain walls and are associated with symmetries of the anyon model of the code. We consider twists in multiple copies of the 2d surface...
