Fig. 3: Monodromy M for non-Abelian anyons.

Two particle-hole pairs of ψ anyons are initially split from the vacuum (I). After the braiding, they fuse into the vacuum. The monodromy is the amplitude of this process. The red and blue loops correspond to anyons that tunnel at QPCA/B and QPCC, respectively [See the loops of the same colors in Fig. 1c]. Untying the topological link between the loops amounts to the monodromy M (or M* depending on the direction of the loops).
