Abstract
Topological quantum computing holding global anti-interference ability is realized by braiding some anyons, such as well-known Fibonacci anyons. Here, based on theory we obtain a total of six anyon models utilizing matrices, symbols, and fusion rules of metaplectic anyon. We obtain the elementary braiding matrices (EBMs) by means of unconventional encoding. After braiding and , we insert a pair of anyons into them to ensure that the initial order of anyons remains unchanged. In this process only fusion is required, and measurement is not necessary. Three of them are studied in detail. We study systematically the compilation of these three models through EBMs obtained analytically. For the one-qubit case, the classical and gate can be well constructed using the Genetic Algorithm-enhanced Solovay-Kitaev Algorithm (GA-enhanced SKA) by . The obtained accuracy of the and gates by is slightly inferior to the corresponding gates of the Fibonacci anyon model, but it also can meet the requirements of fault-tolerant quantum computing,with giving the best performance of these four models. For the two-qubit case, we use the exhaustive method for short lengths and the GA for long lengths to obtain a braidword for models. The resulting matrices can well approximate the local equivalence class of the controlled-not (cnot) gate, while demonstrating a much smaller error than the Fibonacci model, especially for the . The braiding processes of conventional encoding (using identical anyons) and unconventional encoding (using distinct anyons) are compared. Finally, we attempt to generalize the model to the -qubit case.
