Quantum computing’s “dark horse” just proved it can go universal

Researchers have shown that exotic quantum particles called non-Abelian anyons can perform the full range of operations needed for universal quantum computing. Using 54 qubits on Quantinuum's H2 processor, they combined braiding and fusion to unlock capabilities that braiding alone could not provide.
