Abstract We discuss our recent work on how to implement topological quantum computation using superconducting wire arrays. Our results indicate that this is possible to do using components that are available today, in principle. For example, quantum annealer-type, or similar, systems can serve as a starting point. Conceptually, our approach is based on the principle of combinatorial gauge symmetry that we introduced. This principle also leads to topological states of matter that are interesting in their own right.
