For genus $=0$ surfaces, such a local Hamiltonian is mathematically defined. Braiding defects of this medium implements a representation associated to the Jones polynomial and this representation is known to be universal for quantum computation.Quantum PhysicsQuantum Computation and the localization of Modular Functorstext
