The fact that you can play around with the anyons using the quantum computer is also useful for researchers who want to better understand this exotic state of matter, he says. “This is the first convincing test that’s been able to do that, so this would be the first case of what you would call non-Abelian topological order,” says Steven Simon at the University of Oxford. This gave the qubits identical quantum mechanical properties to those predicted for anyons and, when the team adjusted the interactions between the qubits in a way that was equivalent to moving the anyons around, they could test for and confirm the distinctive swap-dependent changes to the anyons’ properties. They then entangled these qubits in a formation called a Kagome lattice, a pattern of interlocking stars common in traditional woven Japanese baskets. The researchers developed a new quantum processor, called H2, which uses ytterbium and barium ions trapped using magnetic fields and lasers to create qubits, or quantum bits, the basic building block of a quantum computer. The boxed edition is being handled by Meridiem Games and includes a. Now, Henrik Dryer at quantum computing firm Quantinuum and his colleagues say they have done just that. Quantic Dreams Fahrenheit, or Indigo Prophecy in North America, is getting a 15th-anniversary physical edition for PS4. This inherent memory, and the quasiparticles’ quantum nature, make non-Abelian anyons an attractive way to do quantum computing, but they had never been found experimentally. But where the threads of a rope interact physically, anyons interact through the strange quantum phenomena of entanglement, where particle properties are inextricably linked through space. Groups of a particular variety, called a non-Abelian anyon, bear a memory of the order in which they were swapped, just as a braided piece of rope retains the order in which its strands have been crossed over. Unlike other particles, swapping anyons fundamentally changes them, with the number of swaps influencing the way they vibrate.
