Topological quantum states of matter, both Abelian and non-Abelian, are characterized by excitations whose wavefunctions undergo non-trivial statistical transformations as one excitation is moved (braided) around another. Topological…
Models for topological quantum computation are based on braiding and fusing anyons (quasiparticles of fractional statistics) in (2+1)-D. The anyons that can exist in a physical theory are determined by the symmetry group of the Hamiltonian.…

To formulate the universal constraints of quantum statistics data of generic long-range entangled quantum systems, we introduce the geometric-topology surgery theory on spacetime manifolds where quantum systems reside, cutting and gluing…
Exchanging particles on graphs, or more concretely on networks of quantum wires, has been proposed as a means to perform fault tolerant quantum computation. This was inspired by braiding of anyons in planar systems. However, exchanges on a…
In topological phases of matter, fusion rules dictate how anyonic topological charges combine. However, the transformation of quasiparticle mobility under fusion remains largely unexplored. In this letter, we reveal that restricted mobility…
