Main takeaways
- Particles of which the phase can be anything are called anyons.
- As operations on the anyons generally do not commute, the particles are so-called non-Abelian.
- To perform coherent operations, we want to stay in the ground state of the system.
- The qubit is protected from noise or thermal fluctuations from its environment in case energies of these are smaller than the gap.
