Fibonacci wires

Abstract

We show that models for one-dimensional quantum chains with local interactions can exhibit non-Abelian end modes, going beyond Kitaev's Majorana chain. We describe a model for a special case of $\rm{SU(2)}_k$ anyons, in particular Fibonacci anyons, and show how braiding of non-Abelian end modes can be done in networks of such chains.
