Fusion and braiding of non-Abelian anyons unlock universal quantum computation on quantum hardware

A 54-qubit ground state of the S3 quantum double was prepared on a Quantinuum processor, encoding information in the global fusion space of non-Abelian anyons. By combining braiding with fusion, the researchers realize a universal topological gate set and read-out, demonstrated via creation of a magic state. This shows that S3 topological order is scalable and sufficient for universal quantum computation, offering a new pathway to compute with the intrinsic properties of quantum matter.

"Microsoft and Quantinuum Achieve Breakthrough in Reliable Quantum Computing"

Microsoft and Quantinuum have achieved a major breakthrough in quantum error correction, using ion-trap hardware and a new qubit-virtualization system to run over 14,000 experiments without errors. This advancement moves quantum computing out of the era of Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers, potentially unlocking commercial advantages with 100 logical qubits and beyond. The team combined 30 physical qubits into four highly reliable logical qubits, demonstrating a significant gap between physical and logical error rates. This achievement marks a critical step towards reliable quantum computing and sets the stage for the next evolution in quantum applications.
