SUMMARY

The discussion centers on initiating research in topological quantum computing, specifically focusing on non-abelian anyons as outlined by A. Yu. Kitaev. The participant seeks to build foundational knowledge in the braiding group of anyons, fault tolerance in quantum computing, and condensed matter physics, particularly the fractional quantum Hall effect. Recommended literature includes "Topological Quantum Computation" by Z. Wang (2010) and "Fractional Statistics and Quantum Theory" by A. Khare (2005) to aid in this endeavor.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of non-abelian anyons
  • Familiarity with braiding groups in quantum theory
  • Knowledge of fault tolerance in quantum computing
  • Background in condensed matter physics, particularly the fractional quantum Hall effect
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the braiding group theory in detail
  • Explore fault tolerance techniques in quantum computing
  • Review condensed matter physics literature focusing on the fractional quantum Hall effect
  • Read "Topological Quantum Computation" by Z. Wang and "Fractional Statistics and Quantum Theory" by A. Khare
USEFUL FOR

Researchers and students in quantum computing, condensed matter physics, and theoretical physics, particularly those interested in topological quantum computation and non-abelian anyons.

Hi, I will be starting my research in topological QC (based on non abelian anyons following the work of A. Yu. Kitaev). To begin understanding this theory, I need to develop a background in the braiding group used to describe anyons, fault tolerance in quantum computers and probably condensed matter as well (to review fractional quantum hall effect in detail).

I have taken courses in HEP, Quantum information and Group theory but not explicitly in topology.
I have tried finding resources but this is a relatively new research so getting in on this research is a bit tedious specially when I don't have a proper background, I hope someone can guide me through it.
Thank you for your time.
