On quantum computation, anyons, and categories

Quantum Physics 2015-10-26 v3

Abstract

We explain the use of category theory in describing certain sorts of anyons. Yoneda's lemma leads to a simplification of that description. For the particular case of Fibonacci anyons, we also exhibit some calculations that seem to be known to the experts but not explicit in the literature.
