  Magnetic nano-skyrmions develop quantized helicity excitations, and the
quantum tunneling between nano-skyrmions possessing distinct helicities is
indicative of the quantum nature of these particles. Experimental methods
capable of non-destructively resolving the quantum aspects of topological spin
textures, their local dynamical response, and their functionality now promise
practical device architectures for quantum operations. With abilities to
measure, engineer, and control matter at the atomic level, nano-skyrmions
present opportunities to translate ideas into solid-state technologies.
Proof-of-concept devices will offer electrical control over the helicity,
opening a promising new pathway towards functionalizing collective spin states
for the realization of a quantum computer based on skyrmions. This Perspective
aims to discuss developments and challenges in this new research avenue in
quantum magnetism and quantum information.
