On topological quantum computation with abelian anyons:

• James Robin Wootton, Dissecting Topological Quantum Computation, PhD thesis, Leeds (2010) [ethesis:1163, pdf, pdf]

  “non-Abelian anyons are usually assumed to be better suited to the task. Here we challenge this view, demonstrating that Abelian anyon models have as much potential as some simple non-Abelian models.”
