Universal topological quantum computing via double-braiding in SU(2) Witten-Chern-Simons theory

We study the problem of universality in the anyon model described by the $SU(2)$ Witten-Chern-Simons theory at level $k$. A classic theorem of Freedman-Larsen-Wang states that for $k\ge 3,k\mathrm{\ne }4$, braiding of the anyons of topological charge $1\mathrm{/}2$ is universal for topological quantum computing. For the case of one qubit, we prove a stronger result that double-braiding of such anyons alone is already universal.
