摘要：In this lecture, I shall mainly introduce what anyons are and the topological quantum computation based on anyon braiding. By explaining the braiding and fusion of anyonic excitations in topological phases, I will introduce related concepts such as fusion categories and braided fusion categories. Taking the example of Fibonacci anyon braiding, I will explain how anyons can perform quantum computation through braiding, i.e., topological quantum computation.
