Abstract
We propose an experimental scheme to observe non-abelian statistics with cold atoms in a two dimensional optical lattice. We show that the Majorana-Schockley modes associated with line defects obey non-abelian statistics and can be created, braided, and fused, all through adiabatic shift of the local chemical potentials. The detection of the topological qubit is transformed to local measurement of the atom number on a single lattice site. We demonstrate the robustness of the braiding operation by incorporating noise and experiential imperfections in numerical simulations, and show that the requirement fits well with the current experimental technology.
