The topic has changed for Roger Mong's PIQuDos seminar on Wed Mar 19 at
16:00 in the Time room.  New title and abstract below.  -Gus

Title: *Universal topological quantum computation from a
superconductor/Abelian **quantum Hall heterostructure*
Speaker: *Roger Mong* (Caltech)

Abstract: Non-Abelian anyons promise to reveal spectacular features of
quantum mechanics that could ultimately provide the foundation for a
decoherence-free
quantum computer.  The Moore-Read quantum Hall state and a (relatively
simple) two-dimensional p+ip superconductor both support Ising non-Abelian
anyons, also referred to as Majorana zero modes.  Here we construct a novel
two-dimensional superconductor in which charge-2e Cooper pairs are built
from fractionalized quasiparticles, and like the Z3 Read-Rezayi state,
harbors Fibonacci anyons that--unlike Ising anyons--allow for universal
topological quantum computation solely through braiding.
