TL;DR

Google Quantum AI has observed the peculiar behavior of non-Abelian anyons for the first time using one of their superconducting quantum processors, opening a new path toward topological quantum computation. Non-Abelian anyons retain a sort of memory, and it is possible to tell when two of them have been exchanged, despite being completely identical. The team demonstrated how braiding of non-Abelian anyons might be used in quantum computations, creating a well-known quantum entangled state called the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state.
