Why should anyone care about computing with anyons?

Jiannis Pachos, University of Leeds


This is a short course in topological quantum computation. The topics to be covered include:

  1. Introduction to anyons and topological models.
  2.  Quantum Double Models. These are stabilizer codes, that can be described very much like quantum error correcting codes. They include the toric code and various extensions.
  3. The Jones polynomials, their relation to anyons and their approximation by quantum algorithms.
  4. Overview of current state of topological quantum computation and open questions.
