We study the implementation of a universal quantum gate set via multiple-braiding within $SU(2)_k$ ($k > 2$, $k \neq 4$) anyon models. The multiple elementary braiding matrices (MEBMs) are derived from the $q$-deformed representation theory…
We extend the analytic theory of Frobenius manifolds to semisimple points with coalescing eigenvalues of the operator of multiplication by the Euler vector field. We clarify which freedoms, ambiguities and mutual constraints are allowed in…
We review and develop the many-body spectral theory of ideal anyons, i.e. identical quantum particles in the plane whose exchange rules are governed by unitary representations of the braid group on $N$ strands. Allowing for arbitrary rank…
As part of a protocol, we braid in a certain way six anyons of topological charges $222211$ in the Kauffman-Jones version of $SU(2)$ Chern-Simons theory at level $4$. The gate we obtain is a braid for the usual qutrit $2222$ but with…

To the working physicist, anyon theory is meant to describe certain quasi-particle excitations occurring in two dimensional topologically ordered systems. A typical calculation using this theory will involve operations such as $\otimes$ to…
In this paper, we provide a construction of a Topological Quantum Field Theory from a Non-Hermitian Ribbon Fusion Category. This is a simple method that does not involve enriching over Fusion Categories, or using other complicated…
We discuss generalizations of quantum spin Hamiltonians using anyonic degrees of freedom. The simplest model for interacting anyons energetically favors neighboring anyons to fuse into the trivial (`identity') channel, similar to the…
In constrast to discretized space-time approximations to continuum quantum field theories, discretized velocity space approximations to continuum quantum field theories are investigated. A four-momentum operator is given in terms of bare…
It is widely recognized that the main difficulty in designing devices which could process information using quantum states is due to the decoherence of local excitations about a ground state. A solution to this problem was suggested in…
We further develop an approach to identify the braiding statistics associated to a given fractional quantum Hall state through adiabatic transport of quasiparticles. This approach is based on the notion of adiabatic continuity between…
Topological order in two-dimensional systems is studied by combining the braid group formalism with a gauge invariance analysis. We show that flux insertions (or large gauge transformations) pertinent to the toroidal topology induce…
We describe the braiding statistics of topological twist defects in abelian bosonic bilayer (mmn) fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states, which reduce to the Z_n toric code when m=0. Twist defects carry non-abelian fractional Majorana-like…
