Using Interferometric Measurements is similar but more complicated, requiring the density matrix description. The resulting “forced measurement” procedure must include an additional measurement (of 8 or fewer anyons, i.e. still bounded size) in each teleportation attempt to ensure the overall charge of the topological qubits being acted upon remains trivial. Note: For the Ising model TQC qubits, interferometric measurements are projective.
