We classify the single-qubit unitaries that can be represented exactly by Fibonacci anyon braids and use the classification to develop a probabilistically polynomial algorithm that approximates any given single-qubit unitary to a desired precision by an asymptotically depth-optimal braid pattern. We extend our algorithm in two directions: to produce braids that allow only single-strand movement, called weaves, and to produce depth-optimal approximations of two-qubit gates. Our compiled braid patterns have depths that are 20 to 1000 times shorter than those output by prior state-of-the-art methods, for precisions ranging between 10−10 and 10−30.}, publisher = {APS}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/asymptotically-optimal-topological-quantum-compiling/}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, volume = {112}, }
