Topological Qubit Design and Leakage

Understand

We examine how best to design qubits for use in topological quantum computation.

• These qubits are topological Hilbert spaces associated with small groups of anyons.
• Op- erations are performed on these by exchanging the anyons.
• One might argue that, in order to have as many simple single qubit operations as possible, the number of anyons per group should be maximized.
