Quantum computing is a rapidly advancing field with the potential to revolutionize information processing by handling large, complex datasets at speeds beyond the reach of classical computers. Despite this promise, current systems face challenges such as relatively high error rates, particularly when scaling to hundreds or thousands of qubits. To address these limitations, topological protection has emerged as a compelling strategy for achieving fault-tolerant quantum computation. One active area of research involves topological qubits based on Majorana zero modes, with contributions from several groups, including efforts led by Microsoft. While the properties of these modes continue to be investigated, alternative approaches are also gaining attention. In this talk, real-space topology will be explored as a potential pathway to fault-tolerant technology, focusing on magnetic quasiparticles that offer tunable size and stability at room temperature. Their relevance to unconventional computing will be discussed, along with the scalability and energy efficiency benefits offered by quantum spintronics.
