The Pfaffian state, which may describe the quantized Hall plateau observed at Landau level filling fraction $\ensuremath{\nu}=\frac{5}{2}$, can support topologically-protected qubits with extremely low error rates. Braiding operations also allow perfect implementation of certain unitary transformations of these qubits. However, in the case of the Pfaffian state, this set of unitary operations is not quite sufficient for universal quantum computation (i.e. is not dense in the unitary group). If…

It is demonstrated that multi-layer topological states with appropriate boundary conditions and twist defects allow modular transformations to be effectively implemented by a finite sequence of local SWAP gates between the layers, and methods to directly measure the modular matrices, and thus the fractional statistics of anyonic excitations are provided, providing a novel way to directlyMeasure topological order.

A Blueprint for a Topologically Fault-tolerant Quantum Computer
• Physics, Computer Science
• 2010
A schematic blueprint for a fully topologically-protected Ising based quantum computer is provided, which may serve as a starting point for attempts to construct a fault-tolerant quantum computer, which will have applications to cryptanalysis, drug design, efficient simulation of quantum many-body systems, searching large databases, engineering future quantum computers, and -- most importantly -- those applications which no one in the authors' classical era has the prescience to foresee.
