Google Quantum AI Achieves Non-Abelian Anyon Braiding in Superconducting Processor

Google Quantum AI has observed the behavior of non-Abelian anyons, particles that retain a sort of memory, for the first time, opening a new path towards topological quantum computation. Non-Abelian anyons have the potential to revolutionize quantum computing by making operations more resistant to noise. The team successfully used these anyons to perform quantum computations, indicating that the peculiar behavior of non-Abelian anyons could be key to developing fault-tolerant topological quantum computers in the future.
