Generating topological order from a two-dimensional cluster state using a duality mapping

In this paper, we prove, extend and review possible mappings between the two-dimensional (2D) cluster state, Wen's model, the 2D Ising chain and Kitaev's toric code model. We introduce a 2D duality transformation to map the 2D lattice cluster state into the topologically ordered Wen model. Then, we investigate how this mapping could be achieved physically, which allows us to discuss the rate at which a topologically ordered system can be achieved. Next, using a lattice fermionization method, Wen's model is mapped into a series of 1D Ising interactions. Considering the boundary terms with this mapping then reveals how the Ising chains interact with one another. The duality of these models can be taken as a starting point to address questions as to how their gate operations in different quantum computational models can be related to each other.
