We study SU (2) k anyon models, assessing their prospects for topological quantum
computation. In particular, we compare the Ising (k= 2) anyon and Fibonacci (k= 3) anyon …

We propose a protocol for quantum adiabatic optimization whereby an intermediary
Hamiltonian that is diagonal in the computational basis is turned on and off during the …

All known examples suggesting an exponential separation between classical simulation
algorithms and stoquastic adiabatic quantum computing (StoqAQC) exploit symmetries that …

In topological quantum computation (TQC) there are primarily two classes of models based
on fermions and bosons, respectively. While the former is described by non-abelian Chern …

We have studied ${\rm SU}(2) _k $ anyon models, assessing their prospects for topological
quantum computation. In particular, we have compared the Ising ($ k= 2$) anyon and …

While it will likely be decades before a fully fault-tolerant quantum computer is engineered,
the use of hybrid, quantum-classical protocols promise near-term, perhaps even immediate …
