 Topological quantum computer

A topological quantum computer is a theoretical model of quantum computation that leverages the principles of topology to process and store quantum information. Unlike traditional quantum computers, which use qubits that can be easily affected by their environment (leading to decoherence and errors), topological quantum computing seeks to offer greater stability and error resilience. ### Key Concepts: 1. **Topological States of Matter**: Topological quantum computers utilize exotic quasi-particles known as anyons, which are not found in conventional matter.
