Unification of Universal and Non-Universal Topological Quantum Computation
ORAL
Abstract
In topological quantum computation, information is encoded non-locally in exotic quasiparticles called anyons, and quantum gates are carried out by braiding the anyons in (2+1)-dimensional space-time. Universal topological quantum computation can be carried out by a universal set of quantum gates composed of single-qubit gates and controlled-phase gate and more efficiently together with controlled-controlled-phase gate. In this talk we show a unified scheme of encoding and computing for both universal and non-universal topological quantum computation with SU(2)$_k$ anyon models. And we give explicit construction of quantum gates, especially the controlled-controlled-phase gate, for universal topological quantum computation. The unified scheme can also be used to generalize the non-universal topological quantum computation to arbitrarily-many-qubit system. Besides, we will discuss error detection and correction in topological quantum computation.
