This paper demonstrates experimentally the key components of parafermion-based universal quantum computation using a photonic quantum simulator, including realizing Clifford-operator Berry phases and investigating quantum contextuality in a topological system. The topologically encoded contextuality opens up the possibility of magic state distillation and both contextuality and braiding-induced Clifford gates are resilient against local noise. By introducing contextuality, this photonic quantum simulation takes the first step towards a physically robust methodology for realizing topological quantum computation.
Quasiparticle poisoning, expected to arise during the measurement of the Majorana zero-mode state, poses a fundamental problem for the realization of Majorana-based quantum computation. Parafermions, a natural generalization of Majorana fermions, can encode topological qudits immune to quasiparticle poisoning. While parafermions are expected to emerge in superconducting fractional quantum Hall systems, they are not yet attainable with current technology. To bypass this problem, we employ a photonic quantum simulator to experimentally demonstrate the key components of parafermion-based universal quantum computation. Our contributions in this paper are twofold. First, by manipulating the photonic states, we realize Clifford-operator Berry phases that correspond to braiding statistics of parafermions. Second, we investigate the quantum contextuality in a topological system for the first time by demonstrating the contextuality of parafermion-encoded qudit states. Importantly, we find that the topologically encoded contextuality opens the way to magic state distillation, while both the contextuality and the braiding-induced Clifford gates are resilient against local noise. By introducing contextuality, our photonic quantum simulation provides the first step toward a physically robust methodology for realizing topological quantum computation.
