Fibonacci Anyons: Golden Ratio Quantum Dimension Enables Universal Topological Computation — E8 Intelligence Research
- 1Independent Researcher, United Kingdom
Abstract
FINDING: Fibonacci anyons realize the golden ratio φ as the quantum dimension, enabling universal topological quantum computation via braiding; Ising anyons (with √2 quantum dimension) are non-universal for computation. | MATH: Fibonacci anyon fusion rule: τ × τ = 1 + τ (where τ is the non-Abelian anyon, 1 is vacuum). Quantum dimension d_τ satisfies d_τ² = 1 + d_τ → d_τ = φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618. Braid matrices yield unitary representations of the braid group B_n with entries involving φ⁻¹ = φ−1 ≈ 0.618 and φ⁻² ≈ 0.382. Ising anyon fusion: σ × σ = 1 + ψ (ψ = fermion), quantum dimension d_σ = √2; braiding yields Clifford gates only (not universal). Fibonacci anyons are dense in SU(2) (or SU(N) for higher rank), hence universal. | CONNECTION: The golden ratio φ appears directly as the quantum dimension — a topological invariant counting fusion-space growth. The Fibonacci fusion tree is isomorphic to the Fibonacci sequence: number of fusion channels for n anyons = F_n (Fibonacci numbers), wh
