Non-Abelian anyons shown to support universal quantum computing

Researchers from the University of Chicago, Harvard, Stony Brook University and Quantinuum used 54 qubits on Quantinuum's H2 processor to show non-Abelian anyons can perform a full universal gate set by combining braiding and fusion, the first experimental proof this approach can run any quantum computation. The Nature study may offer a more efficient route to reliable quantum machines than spreading data across many physical qubits for error correction.
