    Topological quantum computing

    Recent years have witnessed tremendous progress in the construction of quantum computers, which could solve certain problems much more efficiently than the best “classical” computers. Quantum computers work with qubits (“quantum bits”) instead of the bits which store information in classical computers. In this presentation, I will review different experimental realizations of qubits and, in particular, I will show how topological qubits could lead to more performant quantum computers.
