AbstractThe Pfaffian state is an attractive candidate for the observed quantized Hall plateau at Landau level filling fraction $ u=5/2$. This is particularly intriguing because this state has unusual topological properties, including quasiparticle excitations with non-Abelian braiding statistics. In order to determine the nature of the $ u=5/2$ state, one must measure the quasiparticle braiding statistics. Here, we propose an experiment which can simultaneously determine the braiding statistics of quasiparticle excitations and, if they prove to be non-Abelian, produce a topologically-protected qubit on which a logical NOT operation is performed by quasiparticle braiding. Using the measured excitation gap at $ u=5/2$, we estimate the error rate to be $10^{-30}$ or lower.
