Non-Abelian statistics is a phenomenon of topologically protected non-Abelian Berry phases as we exchange quasiparticle excitations. In this paper, we construct a Z_N rotor model that realizes a self-dual Z_N Abelian gauge theory. We find that lattice dislocation defects in the model produce topologically protected degeneracy. Even though dislocations are not quasiparticle excitations, they resemble non-Abelian anyons with quantum dimension sqrt(N). Exchanging dislocations can produces topologically protected projective non-Abelian Berry phases. The dislocations, as projective non-Abelian anyons can be viewed as a generalization of the Majorana zero modes.

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Majorana fermion motion serves as a primitive for braiding-based logical gates in stabilizer codes, enabling denser packing and numerical outperformance of lattice surgery for 2-qubit Clifford gates under near-term noise.
