Combining physics, mathematics and computer science, topological quantum computation is a rapidly expanding research area focused on the exploration of quantum

Topological quantum computation is a computational paradigm based on topological phases of matter, which are governed by topological quantum field theories. In

This book presents a self-consistent review of quantum computation with topological quantum codes. The book covers everything required to understand topological

What is "topological" about topological quantum states? How many types of topological quantum phases are there? What is a zero-energy Majorana mode, how can it

This book contains selected papers presented at the First NASA International Conference on Quantum Computing and Quantum Communications, QCQC'98, held in Palm S
