Topological Qubits, Registers, and Methods

A topological quantum register comprises an array of topological qubits on a substrate. A reconfigurable quantum register also comprises an electrically conducting lead connecting each quantum bit to at least one other quantum bit and has a solid state switch. A topological quantum register also has means for determining quantum states of the quantum bits simultaneously, means for establishing a superposition state in each of the quantum bits; and a computer in communication with each of said solid state switches.
