What is recorded here?
Bravyi, Hastings and Michalakis established a conditional stability result for certain topologically ordered quantum spin systems under sufficiently weak local perturbations. For their class of commuting-projector Hamiltonians, the low-energy spectral band remains separated from higher excitations under the stated conditions.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The result assumes the paper’s topological-order conditions, local interactions and a sufficiently small perturbation. It is a zero-temperature mathematical statement; it does not itself establish an experimental quantum memory or a finite-temperature error-correction lifetime. Scientific correctness has not been independently certified here.
