Magnetic skyrmions are quasi-particle nanoscale magnetic spin configurations with a whirling vortex-like spin structure with distinct topological properties and intriguing dynamics. The recent demonstrations from various groups of room temperature chiral skyrmions and their dynamical response are a first step for controlling their behaviour. We will discuss our i) recent numerical results on Bloch-point mediated skyrmion annihiliation and ii) utilising distinct skyrmionic textures as information carriers for neuromorphic computing applications.
