Abstract

A large set of physically different platforms are still in the race, as promising quantum systems, to perform efficient quantum information processing. Each of them offer particular figures of merit and weaknesses. An important paradigm for quantum computation is to consider hybrid systems where the strengths of different systems can be harvested while mitigating their weaknesses [1]. Meanwhile, increasing efforts are being devoted to topological phases of matter in bosonic systems to perform robust manipulation of quantum information, where topologically protected edge states can be utilized as quantum channels [2].
