Dirac Fermions on a 2D lattice in the presence of defects : with possible applications to quantum computation

Dirac Fermions on 2D lattice are studied in the presence of a single flux tube, a pair of flux tubes and an edge dislocation/anti-dislocation pair. Numerical studies have been carried out using exact diagonalization for each case, and the results indicate that the model supports fractionally char...
