Abstract
As simulation techniques are maturing, new connection between previously separate fields appear. We present numerical simulations on the quantum dimer model. They show that this model, originally derived as effective model for the low-energy physics of frustrated Ising models, has the right properties to be used in a physical realization of topologically protected quantum bits. A topologically protected quantum bit has the advantage of being passively stable against decoherence and thus does not require error correction schemes
