In topological quantum computation the geometric details of a particle trajectory are irrelevant; only the topology matters. Taking this one step further, we consider a model of computation that disregards even the topology of the particle…

Tensor train (TT) decomposition is a powerful representation for high-order tensors, which has been successfully applied to various machine learning tasks in recent years. However, since the tensor product is not commutative, permutation of…

Unitary Ribbon Fusion Categories (URFC) formalize anyonic theories. It has been widely assumed that the same category formalizes a topological quantum computing model. However, in previous work, we addressed and resolved this confusion and…
