> computation. I will describe a model in which this idea is taken one 
> step further. Even the topology is irrelevant. The computation is 
> determined solely by the permutation of the particles. Unlike 
> topological quantum computation, which requires anyons, permutational 
> quantum computations can in principle be performed by permuting 
> ordinary spin-1/2 particles. It seems possible that permutational 
> quantum computation is less powerful than standard quantum 
> computation (BQP). Nevertheless I will present algorithms for this 
> model which provide apparent exponential speedup over classical 
> algorithms.
