Abstract

As part of a protocol, we braid in a certain way six anyons of topological charges 222211 in the Kauffman-Jones version of SU(2) Chern-Simons theory at level 4. The gate we obtain is a braid for the usual qutrit 2222 but with respect to a different basis. With respect to that basis, the Freedman group of \citeLEV is identical to the D-group D(18,1,1;2,1,1). We give a physical interpretation for each Blichfeld generator of the group D(18,1,1;2,1,1). Inspired by these new techniques for the qutrit, we are able to make new ancillas, namely (1)/(√(2))(|1> +|3>) and (1)/(√(2))(|1> -|3>), for the qubit 1221.
