Topological quantum error correction with semions

Topological quantum error correction is important class of error correction codes which are essential for development of a robust and scalable quantum system. Semion are anyonic particles with bizarre properties have ability to encode the qubit into fusion and braiding properties to protect it from local perturbances. This paper studied the application of semions in topological quantum error correction task. The performance results reveal that semion based codes can reduce the quantum errors below a threshold to facilitate a practicable quantum computing to happen.
