Abstract

We present a constructive proof that anyonic magnetic charges with fluxes in a nonsolvable finite group can perform universal quantum computations. The gates are built out of the elementary operations of braiding, fusion, and vacuum pair creation, supplemented by a reservoir of ancillas of known flux. Procedures for building the ancilla reservoir and for correcting leakage are also described. Finally, a universal qudit gate set, which is ideally suited for anyons, is presented. The gate set consists of classical computation supplemented by measurements of the X operator.
