Abstract

FINDING: Anyon topological qubits are realized via braiding operations in modular tensor categories, with interferometric readout achievable through Josephson vortex dynamics rather than Abrikosov cores. | MATH: Fibonacci anyon braiding gates: single-qubit gate set compiled from braid words in the Fibonacci anyon model, where the fusion space dimension grows as Fibonacci numbers \(F_{n}\) (golden ratio \(\phi = (1+\sqrt{5})/2 \approx 1.618\)); anyon condensation described by modular tensor category inclusion \(C \to D\) with a commutative algebra object \(A \in C\); Chern–Simons term \(S_{CS} = \frac{k}{4\pi}\int A \wedge dA\) with level \(k\) determining anyonic statistics \(\theta = \pi/k\); flux qubit readout maps anyonic braid to Josephson phase \(\varphi\) with quantum interference condition \(\Delta \varphi = 2\pi n\). | CONNECTION: Fibonacci anyons directly encode the golden ratio \(\phi = 1.618\) and its inverse \(1/\phi = 0.618\) in the fusion rules \(\tau \otimes \tau = 1 \op Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.

Topological Qubits: Braiding Non-Abelian Anyons with Fibonacci Fusion and Flux Readout — E8 Intelligence Research

Andrew Stewart Caldin

FINDING: Anyon topological qubits rely on braiding non-Abelian anyons in 2D systems, with flux qubits enabling readout via Josephson vortices, and Fibonacci anyons providing universal gate sets through braiding operations. MATH: Braiding group generators \( \sigma_i \) satisfy \( \sigma_i \sigma_{i+1} \sigma_i = \sigma_{i+1} \sigma_i \sigma_{i+1} \) (Yang–Baxter equation). Fibonacci anyon fusion rules: \( \tau \times \tau = 1 + \tau \), with quantum dimension \( d_\tau = \phi = (1+\sqrt{5})/2 \approx 1.618 \). Single-qubit braiding gates compiled from Fibonacci anyons use matrices with entries involving \( \phi^{-1} \approx 0.618 \). Chern–Simons term in Ginzburg–Landau model: \( S_{CS} = \frac{k}{4\pi} \int A \wedge dA \), with level \( k \) integer. CONNECTION: Fibonacci anyon quantum dimension \( d_\tau = \phi \) directly ties to the golden ratio 1.618 and its inverse 0.618. Braiding matrices for Fibonacci anyons involve \( \phi^{-1} \) and \( \phi^{-2} \approx 0.382 \). The Yan Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.

Fibonacci Anyons: Universal Quantum Gates via Non-Abelian Braiding — E8 Intelligence Research

Andrew Stewart Caldin

FINDING: Topological quantum computation via non-Abelian anyon braiding, specifically Fibonacci anyons, encodes qubits in degenerate state spaces where braid operations generate the Fibonacci fusion rules and yield universal quantum gates. | MATH: Fibonacci anyon fusion rule: τ ⊗ τ = 1 ⊕ τ (golden anyon). Dimension of Hilbert space for n anyons grows as Fibonacci numbers: dim(H_n) = F_{n-1} (with F_0=0, F_1=1). Braid generators σ_i satisfy Yang-Baxter: σ_i σ_{i+1} σ_i = σ_{i+1} σ_i σ_{i+1}, and σ_i σ_j = σ_j σ_i for |i-j|≥2. Single-qubit braiding gates compiled via brute-force optimization (arXiv:2008.03542) — the key constant is the golden ratio φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618, which appears as the quantum dimension d_τ = φ. | CONNECTION: Direct geometric harmony: Fibonacci anyons have quantum dimension exactly φ = 1.618 (and its inverse 0.618 = 1/φ). The fusion space dimension sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,...) is the Fibonacci sequence — the same ratio governing pentagonal symmetry (5-fold crystallogr Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.

Fibonacci Anyon Braiding Gates: Golden Ratio in Topological Quantum Computation — E8 Intelligence Research

Andrew Stewart Caldin

FINDING: Topological quantum computation using Fibonacci anyons requires braiding gates whose matrix elements are determined by the golden ratio φ = (1+√5)/2, and the single-qubit braiding gate compilation involves the ratio √(φ⁻¹) = √(0.618...). | MATH: Fibonacci anyon fusion rules: τ × τ = 1 + τ, where τ is the non-Abelian anyon. The braiding matrix for two τ anyons is: B = [[e^(i4π/5), 0], [0, -e^(-i2π/5)]] in the fusion basis, with eigenvalues involving φ. The single-qubit gate compilation uses the identity: φ = 2 cos(π/5) = (1+√5)/2. The square root of the inverse golden ratio: √(φ⁻¹) = √( (√5-1)/2 ) ≈ 0.786. | CONNECTION: Direct geometric harmony: φ (1.618) and its inverse φ⁻¹ (0.618) appear as the central constants. √(φ⁻¹) ≈ 0.786 is a key ratio in the braiding phase angles (4π/5, 2π/5) which relate to pentagonal symmetry (crystallographic point group 5m). The fusion algebra τ × τ = 1 + τ mirrors the Fibonacci recurrence F_{n+1} = F_n + F_{n-1}, linking to the golden ratio. The Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
