QUANTUM COMPUTING :
•
Use of Quantum mechanical phenomena like Superposition and Entanglement for computation.
•
Uses Quantum bits or Qubits.
TOPOLOGY:
•
A branch of Mathematics that focuses on the fundamental properties of objects.
•
Topological properties don’t change when an object is gradually stretched or bent. The object has to be torn or attached in new places.

TOPOLOGICAL QUANTUM MATTER:
•
Even microscopic matter at the smallest scale can exhibit macroscopic properties and phases that are topological.
•
Revolutionized the fields of material science, electronic engineering , etc.
•
Applications : 1.
Fractional quantum hall effect
2.
Topological Insulator
TOPOLOGICAL QUANTUM COMPUTING: •
A theoretical quantum computer that employs two-
dimensional Quasiparticles called Anyons.
•
Much more stable compared to quantum computer based on trapped particles.
•
Alexei Kitaev proposed topological quantum computation in 1997.
ANYONS:
•
A type of Quasiparticle that occurs only in twodimensional systems.
•
Generally classified as Abelian and Non-abelian

SUMMARY:
Topological Quantum Computers are theoretical Quantum Computers which use Non-Abelian Anyons to form braids using their world-lines which can be used as
Qubits.
Topological Quantum Computer is highly stable compared to standard Quantum Computer as noise cannot cause error in the calculation.
