Topological quantum computing is a theoretical quantum computing model that employs two-dimensional quasiparticles called anyons, whose world lines pass around one another to form braids in a three-dimensional spacetime (i.e., one temporal plus two spatial dimensions).

Origin of braiding in measurement-only TQC
I have a technical question on the "measurement-only"-proposal for topological quantum computation on anyons. First some background:
Background.
While it has become a common idea that topological quantum gates could be implemented by braiding…

Is there any tool or simulator for Topological quantum gates and circuits?
I am starting to step into the field of Topological Quantum Information and Computation and am in search of tools which I can use to directly simulate or realize these transformations in a textual or graphical manner.

How are the twist defects and domain walls on topological color code of pratical use?
I found an article that talks about the twist and domain walls on topological color codes, but I fail to understand how they are of practical use? Similarly, we can change the type of path and stuff like that but how are they useful?
Article: The…

Need help to understand topological color codes
I am doing work on topological color codes, but after searching a lot of papers I could not find one that explained some points. Why do we need the colors for? Why do we have different types of color paths and what makes them different? If we have…

Quantum dimension of an anyon
In the book Introduction to Topological Quantum Computation Jiannis K. Pachos page 60 Equ.(4.16) $\text{dim}(M_{(n)}) \propto d_a^n$, two lines after (4.16) said that,
The dimension of $M_{(n)}$ is always an integer as it enumerates different…
