Parafermionic Quantum Computation
L. A. Wu, Daniel A. Lidar · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2001
By mapping qubits to parafermions we study the quantum computational power of a generic class of solid state Hamiltonians. We present encoded logic operations which do away with difficult-to-implement single-qubit gates in a number of quantum computer proposals, e.g., quantum dots and donor atom spins with anisotropic exchange coupling, and electrons floating on helium.
