" Braid construction for low-leakage topological quantum computation "



Abstract



A topological quantum computer encodes quantum information in a  
topologically protected Hilbert space of non-Abelian anyons. Braiding  
non-Abelian anyons in space-time leads to robust quantum information  
processing. In this talk, I will first give a brief overview of the  
emergence and braiding of anyons in fractional quantum Hall systems.  
Then, I will use Fibonacci anyons to discuss braid (or quantum gate)  
construction toward universal topological quantum computation, with  
focus on avoiding leakage errors in braid construction. Such  
considerations result in high-accuracy low-leakage quantum gates for  
topological quantum computation.
