**Quantum Computing’s “Dark Horse” Just Cleared a Major Hurdle**
By Sarah C.P. Williams, University of Chicago - Published on 01 August 2026
Researchers demonstrated that braiding and fusing particles known as non-Abelian anyons can perform every operation required by a quantum computer. A quantum computer becomes broadly useful only when it can perform any computation rather than a limited set of specialized tasks. Physicists have now demonstrated that unusual quantum objects called non-Abelian anyons can provide that [...]
