TL;DR
This work unifies Majorana’s infinite‑component mass–spin framework with paraparticle (Green) statistics by employing a minimal $\,\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2\,$-graded Lie algebra and $R$-matrix quantization, linking the Majorana tower to graded sectors that host paraboson and parafermion dynamics. It then translates this algebraic structure into a concrete photonic platform based on structured light (OAM/SAM) to realize a four‑mode ququart that behaves as a $\,\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2\,$ paraparticle, enabling deterministic one‑photon two‑qubit gates and universal quantum computation without nonlinear media. The paper also develops a fractional Nelson framework to model graded, non‑Markovian noise and proposes diagnostic and correction schemes that leverage the graded statistics to enhance fault tolerance in photonic paraparticle circuits. By bridging relativistic paraparticle theory, braided Hopf algebras, and photonic hardware, the work opens pathways to paraparticle‑based quantum information processing and broader exploration of exotic statistics beyond fermions and bosons. The results provide a rigorous mathematical foundation for para-Majorana modes in SAM–OAM photonics, outline explicit gate sets with proven universality, and chart a practical route toward scalable, room‑temperature quantum computing using structured light. Overall, this framework suggests a versatile platform for exploring new quantum statistics, error correction methods, and potentially topological computation within integrated photonics.
Abstract
We present a theoretical framework that integrates Majorana's infinite-component relativistic equation within the algebraic structure of paraparticles through the minimal nontrivial $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$--graded Lie algebras and $R$-matrix quantization. By mapping spin-dependent mass spectra to graded sectors associated with generalized quantum statistics, we derive an equation embodying Majorana's mass-spin relation describing Majorana quasiparticles of structured light carrying spin and orbital angular momentum. These quanta in the $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$--graded algebras and $R$-matrix formulations extend the previous results from superconducting qubits to photonic platforms and set up deterministic 2-photon gates involving at least two qubits encoded in a single photon without nonlinear effects. This makes feasible general quantum computing pathways exploiting fractional statistics through Nelson's quantum mechanics and implement a novel procedure for error correction in photonic platforms. Furthermore, this approach makes possible to set paraparticle-based quantum information processing, beyond fermions and bosons, using graded qudits.
