*> Curious, for a part of my discussions with GPT-4 involve the relationship between anyons and a lattice form of supersymmetry. Nonabelions can then act as a sort of supersymmetric protection of quantum states.* If this can be made practical then this new development will be a very big deal, in fact about as big a deal as deals get. And as far as I can tell there are no scientific roadblocks, just engineering difficulties. They're virtual 2D Nonabelions not real ones but as far as making a topological quantum computer is concerned that distinction is not very important. John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis> naa This is a part of the topological order of quantum states. The nonabelion, a state isomorphic to an elementary supersymmetric state, acts as a symmetry protecting symmetry of states against quantum noise.
