This chapter introduces topological quantum computation (TQC), a model using non-Abelian anyons, specifically Fibonacci anyons, for information processing via braiding operations. The braid group and fusion rules are central to TQC, enabling operations that remain robust against certain environmental errors. TQC provides inherent fault tolerance, reducing susceptibility to local disturbances. The chapter concludes by examining the challenges and future potential of topological models, marking TQC as a promising, albeit complex, path toward scalable and robust quantum computing solutions.
