Non-Abelian anyons prove capable of universal quantum computing

Working on stabilizing non-Abelian quantum memories

Researchers have shown that exotic quasiparticles called non-Abelian anyons can perform every operation a general-purpose quantum computer needs. Using 54 entangled qubits on Quantinuum's H2 trapped-ion processor, a team from the University of Chicago, Harvard, Stony Brook University, and Quantinuum combined two operations, braiding and fusion, to reach universal computation for the first time in a non-Abelian code.
