We consider the braid group representation which describes the non-abelian braiding statistics of the spin 1/2 particle world lines of an SU(2)$_4$ Chern-Simons theory. Up to an abelian phase, this is the same as the non-Abelian statistics…

It is shown that certain fractionally-charged quasiparticles can be modeled on \(D-\)dimensional lattices in terms of unconventional yet simple Fock algebras of creation and annihilation operators. These unconventional Fock algebras are…

We develop a general theory of `quantum' diffeomorphism groups based on the universal comeasuring quantum group $M(A)$ associated to an algebra $A$ and its various quotients. Explicit formulae are introduced for this construction, as well…

We study locality preserving automorphisms of operator algebras on $D$-dimensional uniform lattices of prime $p$-dimensional qudits (QCA), specializing in those that are translation invariant (TI) and map every prime $p$-dimensional Pauli…

Braided groups and braided matrices are novel algebraic structures living in braided or quasitensor categories. As such they are a generalization of super-groups and super-matrices to the case of braid statistics. Here we construct braided…

We provide a conceptual framework for developing a scalable topological quantum computer. It relies on forming Majorana fermions using circular electronic gates in two-dimensional p-wave superconductors. The gates allow the precise control…

Topological quantum computing promises intrinsic fault tolerance by encoding quantum information in non-Abelian anyons, where quantum gates are implemented via braiding. While braiding operations are robust against local perturbations, a…

The (exclusion) statistics of parafermions is used to study degeneracies of quasiholes over the paired (or in general clustered) quantum Hall states. Focus is on the Z_k and su(3)_k/u(1)^2 parafermions, which are used in the description of…
