Alexei Kitaev has put a massive paper on the arXiv, cond-mat/0506438 describing a very interesting model with interacting spins on a honeycomb lattice. Looks like I’ve found my bus ride reading for the next month!
O brave new quantum world!

Hey! Only 2 sentences devoted to a 100 page paper. Proust you are not. What I would like to hear from the audience are opinions on how far and in what sense does this paper advance the programme of topological quantum computing. And how close are Kitaev and Freedman to finding a physical realization of their ideas.
