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.
