Abstract: We propose a novel qubit basis composed of transverse spin helices with kinks. This chiral basis, in contrast to the usual computational basis, possesses distinct topological properties and is convenient for describing quantum states with nontrivial topology. By choosing appropriate parameters, operators containing transverse spin components, such as $sigm{a}_n^x$ or $sigm{a}_n^y$, become diagonal in the chiral basis, facilitating the study of problems focused on transverse spin components. As an application, we describe the transverse spin dynamics of a spin helix in the $XX$ model, which has been studied in recent cold atom experiments. We derive a determinantal formula for the temporal dependence of the transverse magnetization.
