Topological quantum computing: The quest for a quality qubit

Topological Quantum Computing (TQC) is a specialized approach to quantum computation that uses "braiding" patterns of exotic quasiparticles called to store and process information . Unlike standard quantum systems that are highly sensitive to noise, TQC is inherently fault-tolerant because its information is protected by the global "shape" (topology) of the system rather than individual particle states.

: Operations are discrete—you either completed a braid or you didn't. This reduces "over-rotation" or "under-rotation" errors common in analog-controlled quantum systems. Status and Outlook (2026) Topological quantum computing: The quest for a quality
