The Yang-Baxter equation is an important tool in theoretical physics, with many applications in different domains that span from condensed matter to string theory. Recently, the interest on the equation has increased due to its connection to quantum information processing. It has been shown that the Yang-Baxter equation is closely related to quantum entanglement and quantum computation. Therefore, owing to the broad relevance of this equation, besides theoretical studies, it also became significant to pursue its experimental implementation. Here, we show an experimental realization of the Yang-Baxter equation and verify its validity through a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) interferometric setup. Our experiment was performed on a liquid state Iodotrifluoroethylene sample which contains molecules with three qubits. We use Controlled-transfer gates that allow us to build a pseudo-pure state from which we are able to apply a quantum information protocol that implements the Yang-Baxter equation.

In this paper, several proposals of optically simulating Yang-Baxter equations have been presented. Motivated by the recent development of anyon theory, we apply Temperley-Lieb algebra as a bridge to recast four-dimentional Yang-Baxter equation into its two-dimensional counterpart. In accordance with both representations, we find the corresponding linear-optical simulations, based on the highly efficient optical elements. Both the freedom degrees of photon polarization and location are utilized as the qubit basis, in which the unitary Yang-Baxter matrices are decomposed into combination of actions of basic optical elements.
Several aspects of relations between braces and non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation are discussed and many consequences are derived. In particular, for each positive integer $n$ a finite square-free multipermutation solution of the Yang-Baxter equation with multipermutation level $n$ and an abelian involutive Yang-Baxter group is constructed. This answers a problem of Gateva-Ivanova and Cameron. It is also proved that finite non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation whose associated involutive Yang-Baxter group is abelian are retractable in the sense of Etingof, Schedler and Soloviev. Earlier the authors proved this with the additional square-free hypothesis on the solutions. Retractability of solutions is also proved for finite square-free non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions associated to a left brace.
We construct the 1D $mathbb{Z}_3$ parafermionic model based on the solution of Yang-Baxter equation and express the model by three types of fermions. It is shown that the $mathbb{Z}_3$ parafermionic chain possesses both triple degenerate ground states and non-trivial topological winding number. Hence, the $mathbb{Z}_3$ parafermionic model is a direct generalization of 1D $mathbb{Z}_2$ Kitaev model. Both the $mathbb{Z}_2$ and $mathbb{Z}_3$ model can be obtained from Yang-Baxter equation. On the other hand, to show the algebra of parafermionic tripling intuitively, we define a new 3-body Hamiltonian $hat{H}_{123}$ based on Yang-Baxter equation. Different from the Majorana doubling, the $hat{H}_{123}$ holds triple degeneracy at each of energy levels. The triple degeneracy is protected by two symmetry operators of the system, $omega$-parity $P$($omega=e^{{textrm{i}frac{2pi}{3}}}$) and emergent parafermionic operator $Gamma$, which are the generalizations of parity $P_{M}$ and emergent Majorana operator in Lee-Wilczek model, respectively. Both the $mathbb{Z}_3$ parafermionic model and $hat{H}_{123}$ can be viewed as SU(3) models in color space. In comparison with the Majorana models for SU(2), it turns out that the SU(3) models are truly the generalization of Majorana models resultant from Yang-Baxter equation.
We define a new class of unitary solutions to the classical Yang-Baxter equation (CYBE). These ``boundary solutions are those which lie in the closure of the space of unitary solutions to the modified classical Yang-Baxter equation (MCYBE). Using the Belavin-Drinfeld classification of the solutions to the MCYBE, we are able to exhibit new families of solutions to the CYBE. In particular, using the Cremmer-Gervais solution to the MCYBE, we explicitly construct for all n > 2 a boundary solution based on the maximal parabolic subalgebra of sl(n) obtained by deleting the first negative root. We give some evidence for a generalization of this result pertaining to other maximal parabolic subalgebras whose omitted root is relatively prime to $n$. We also give examples of non-boundary solutions for the classical simple Lie algebras.
A unitary operator that satisfies the constant Yang-Baxter equation immediately yields a unitary representation of the braid group B n for every $n ge 2$. If we view such an operator as a quantum-computational gate, then topological braiding corresponds to a quantum circuit. A basic question is when such a representation affords universal quantum computation. In this work, we show how to classically simulate these circuits when the gate in question belongs to certain families of solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. These include all of the qubit (i.e., $d = 2$) solutions, and some simple families that include solutions for arbitrary $d ge 2$. Our main tool is a probabilistic classical algorithm for efficient simulation of a more general class of quantum circuits. This algorithm may be of use outside the present setting.
