Topological quantum computing(TQC) is a quantum computing model which makes use of the ground state degeneracy of topological phases(TPs) to address the decoherence problem. A large class of topological phases can be classified using the string-net condensation model and its generalizations. In this expository talk we will define string-net models, indicate their relation to topological phases, and discuss their relevance to quantum computing.
