Yes, they do handle decoherence better. Here is a video explaining the theory behind the particles that are used to perform topological quantum computation [0].

Yes, they do handle decoherence better. Here is a video explaining the theory behind the particles that are used to perform topological quantum computation [0]. I emphasize that unlike superconducting, quantum dots, ion traps, photonic e.t.c; topological quantum computers have not been physically realized because non-abelian anyons have not been detected.

"Non-Abelian Anyons" would be a great band name. "Have Not Been Detected" would be a great 1st album name.

...they have, if you believe this (fairly convincing!) set of evidence showing perfect Andreev Reflection (robust to changes in gate potential), which should only be possible (in a way robust to changes in gate potential) in the presence of Majorana states (i.e. a type of non-abelian anyon): https://quantumfrontiers.com/2017/11/21/majorana-update/ https://quantumfrontiers.com/2017/11/21/majorana-update/
