*“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.
