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. This talk aims to discuss the basic concept of a magnetic  skyrmion  qubit,  its  advantages, and  challenges  in  this  new research  avenue  in  quantum  magnetism  and  quantum  information.
