  "abstract": "FINDING: Fibonacci anyons — whose braiding statistics are governed by the golden ratio — have been experimentally realized (Quantinuum) and theoretically compiled into universal single-qubit gates, confirming the golden ratio as a physical constant of topological quantum computation. | MATH: Fibonacci anyon quantum dimension \\( d = \\phi = \\frac{1+\\sqrt{5}}{2} \\approx 1.618 \\); fusion rule \\( \\tau \\times \\tau = 1 + \\tau \\) (non-Abelian); braid matrices satisfy \\( \\sigma_i^2 \\neq 1 \\) but Yang-Baxter \\( \\sigma_i \\sigma_{i+1} \\sigma_i = \\sigma_{i+1} \\sigma_i \\sigma_{i+1} \\); single-qubit gate compilation uses \\( F \\)-matrix with entries involving \\( \\phi^{-1} = \\phi - 1 \\approx 0.618 \\) and \\( \\phi^{-1/2} \\). The Ising anyon has \\( d = \\sqrt{2} \\), but Fibonacci is universal for topological QC while Ising is not (without magic state distillation). | CONNECTION: Direct geometric harmony — the golden ratio \\( \\phi \\) appears as the quantum dimension, and its inverse \\( \\phi^{-1} = 0.618 \\)\n\nAuthor: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
