Australia is recognized as one of the world leaders in the area of quantum information and computation. As a frontier technology with tremendous potential but engineering challenges it is vital we expand our theoretical landscape to better steer experimental development. A promising new paradigm is topological quantum computation which uses particles with exotic statistics called anyons that do not exist naturally in three dimensions but can be engineered to emerge in two dimensional spin lattices. Our bottom up research program would help place Australia at the forefront of these ideas. As a field which combines tools from mathematics, computer science, and physics this project will provide world class training to young researchers.

澳大利亚被认为是量子信息和计算领域的世界领导者之一。作为具有巨大潜力但工程挑战的边界技术，至关重要的是，我们将理论局势扩展到更好地转化实验发展。有希望的新范式是拓扑量子计算，它使用具有外来统计的粒子，称为Anyons，它们在三个维度上自然存在，但可以设计为在二维自旋晶格中出现。我们的自下而上的研究计划将有助于将澳大利亚置于这些想法的最前沿。作为结合数学，计算机科学和物理工具的领域，该项目将为年轻的研究人员提供世界一流的培训。
