Topological Quantum Computing (TQC) is an approach towards building a quantum computer based on topological materials with resistance to noise and errors. It’s potentially scalable because the anyons can be arranged on a 2D lattice. It’s related to Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs) which have a one-one correspondence with Unitary Modular Tensor Categories (UMTC). For reaching universality using TQC, one needs non-abelian anyons.
We start with a recap of Toric Code, then give an error correction algorithm for Doubled Semion. We realize that patches of DS could be used for error detection in TC. We provide insights into realization of Ising anyons on quantum circuit. We also look into generalization of the twists generating the non-abelian systems.
