In this paper, a family of non-Abelian topologically ordered states are built from arrays of quantum wires with fine-tuned electron-electron interactions. With the help of non-Abelian bosonization, the decoupled wires are described by conformal field theories. Electron-electron interactions are chosen to gap all conformal field theories except the one that describes the edge state. Hence, the construction makes it easy to engineer different topological ordered states. The authors prescribe, in particular, how to arrive at all the edge states described by the unitary conformal field theory minimal models using the spin degrees of freedom of the quantum wires alone. The construction provides a bridge between the field theory descriptions and the microscopic models of topological ordered states.
