In two words – what is it about?
� Pushing around fractionally charged quasiparticles in 2D-gases can result in universal gate operations on a Hilbertspace which is accessible by fusioning the particles.

� Without effective fields, potentials can influence quantum mechanical systems!
� The topological phase does not change under smooth deformations.
� The path dependent phase can disapear for small fields or large distances.
� The two paths are topologically not equivalent, so the topological phase is neither.

Thought-Experiment on the Manipulation of Fusion Channels
1. create a pair of fluxons from vacuum
2. create a pair of chargeons
Result: • charge ‚wanders‘ from chargeon to fluxon
• charges will not annihilate any more, but overall charge is preserved � fusion channel
3. move one chargeon around a fluxon
4. look at total charge of pair

Fluxons: permutation and conjugacy class1. assume two fluxons a (on the left) and b (on the right)2. fluxons can be categorized in G by moving a charge around them and measuring its change3. now, permutate a and b clockwise
Braiding operation:
Note: Permutating fluxes changes the flux element, but the conjugacy class remains
invariant
Monodromy operator:

Thought-Experiment on the Manipulation of Fusion Channels
1. create a pair of fluxons from vacuum
2. create a pair of chargeons
Result: • charge ‚wanders‘ from chargeon to fluxon
• charges will not annihilate any more, but overall charge is preserved � fusion channel
3. permutate a and b clockwise
4. look at total charge of pair� character of D
