*“Universal Quantum Computation Using Ising Anyons from a Non-Semisimple
Topological Quantum Field Theory"*
*
*
_Abstract_
We propose a framework for topological quantum computation using newly
discovered non-semisimple analogs of topological quantum field theories
in 2+1 dimensions. These enhanced theories offer more powerful models
for quantum computation. The conventional theory of Ising anyons, which
is believed to describe excitations in the ν=5/2 fractional quantum Hall
state, is not universal for quantum computation via braiding of
quasiparticles. However, we show that the non-semisimple theory
introduces new anyon types that extend the Ising framework. By adding
just one new anyon type, universal quantum computation can be achieved
through braiding alone. This result opens new avenues for realizing
fault-tolerant quantum computing in topologically ordered systems.
