Computation in a Topological Quantum Field Theory
... surface trace out a topologically non-trivial braid formed by the particle’s world-lines. This braid then corresponds via the representation to an element U(d). These anyonic particles carry an intrinsic computational resource that is purely topological in nature. According to the unitary representa ...

However, more complex manifestations of quantum mechanical decay are observed in the strong coupling regime or when different decay channels are allowed. Strong coupling is responsible for memory effects, leading to deviations from an ex ...

... where α, β ∈ C are called amplitudes and satisfy |α| + |β| = 1. Here |0i, |1i are used as place-holders for the two discernible states of a coin (or any other physical system for that matter). Any system that can exist in states |0i and |1i can also exist in a superposition α|0i + β|1i, according to ...

Something certainly exists outside these three spaces. The conundrums of existence might never be fully ...
