Measurement-only topological quantum computation via tunable interactions

Abstract

I examine, in general, how tunable interactions may be used to perform anyonic teleportation and generate braiding transformations for non-Abelian anyons. I explain how these methods are encompassed by the "measurement-only" approach to topological quantum computation. The physically most relevant example of Ising anyons or Majorana zero-modes is considered in detail, particularly in the context of Majorana nanowires.
