Topological Quantum Computation with Gapped Boundaries and Boundary Defects

Abstract

We survey some recent work on topological quantum computation with gapped boundaries and boundary defects and list some open problems.

9 pages, 7 figures, to appear in Proceedings of Contemporary Mathematics based on the AMS Special Session on Topological Phases of Matter and Quantum Computation. Some background material is adapted from 1609.02037 and 1703.03564
