: Operations are discrete—you either completed a braid or you didn't. This reduces "over-rotation" or "under-rotation" errors common in analog-controlled quantum systems. Status and Outlook (2026)

: Information is stored non-locally, meaning local disturbances—like environmental noise or heat—cannot easily flip a qubit's state. This hardware-level protection could theoretically eliminate the massive overhead required for active error correction in other quantum systems. Topological Quantum Computation and Quantum Com...

: Because the quantum state is protected by an energy gap and topological rules, these qubits are predicted to have exceptionally long coherence times compared to superconducting circuits. : Operations are discrete—you either completed a braid
