"Non-abelian anyons and

topological quantum computation"

Abstract

  The main topic of this seminar is the theory of non-Abelian anyons.  
The exotic statistical properties of such excitations make it possible  
to set up quantum computational schemes based on robust topological  
properties as those of knots and braids. Although still in its  
infancy, topological quantum computation promises to be the catalysis  
for a very productive merging of ideas coming from several fields of  
physics, mathematics and computer science.
