Topological Quantum Computing
Topological Quantum Computing (TQC) is a unique approach to quantum computing that uses topology, a branch of mathematics focused on the properties of space that remain unchanged under continuous transformations….
Topological Qubits
Topological qubits are a new and highly theoretical kind of qubit that promise to be naturally protected against errors. Unlike other qubits that use particles like ions or superconducting circuits,….
