Anyons are quasi-particles that arise in two-dimensional systems and exhibit statistics that are neither bosonic nor fermionic. They are described by representations of the braid group and are central to the concept of topological qubits. Topological qubits are quantum bits that are encoded in the topological properties of anyons, providing a robust platform for quantum computation. | Anyons are quasi-particles that arise in two-dimensional systems and exhibit statistics that are neither bosonic nor fermionic.
