Quantum computing stands at the frontier of technology, promising to revolutionize various
fields by providing computational power that far exceeds classical computers. A key challenge in
the development of practical quantum computers is overcoming the effects of noise and
decoherence that limit their scalability. Topological insulators (TIs) have emerged as promising
materials due to their robust surface states, which are resistant to disturbances and offer unique
opportunities for fault-tolerant quantum computing. This paper explores the role of topological
insulators in quantum computing, focusing on their properties, mechanisms, and potential
applications in quantum information processing. By examining current research, this paper
outlines how TIs could be utilized in the creation of stable qubits and the development of more
reliable quantum algorithms.
