Adiabatically exchanging anyons gives rise to topologically protected operations on the quantum state of the system, but the desired result is only achieved if the anyons are well separated, which requires a sufficiently large area. Being…
Exchange statistics are a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics, dictating the symmetry of identical particle wavefunctions and thereby enabling emergent phenomena of many-body quantum states. The exchange-induced unitary…

A quantum computer can perform exponentially faster than its classical counterpart. It works on the principle of superposition. But due to the decoherence effect, the superposition of a quantum state gets destroyed by the interaction with…
