Recorded summary

A quasiperiodic Fibonacci drive creates a dynamical topological phase in a ten-qubit trapped-ion chain. Edge-qubit behaviour exhibits protection against specified control imperfections relative to a periodic-drive comparison.

Recorded limitations

The result concerns a finite quantum simulator and particular dynamics. It does not demonstrate general-purpose fault tolerance; the present appraisal covers the abstract and accessible extended-data descriptions.
