Roadmap to fault tolerant quantum computation using topological qubit arrays

David Aasen, Morteza Aghaee, Zulfi Alam +179

We describe a concrete device roadmap towards a fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture based on noise-resilient, topologically protected Majorana-based qubits. Our roadmap e…

20 Second Parity Lifetime in an InAs--Pb Tetron Device

Morteza Aghaee, Zulfi Alam, Mariusz Andrzejczuk +162

A central promise of topological quantum computing is that increasing the excitation gap improves device performance significantly. Here, we experimentally validate this principle…

Interferometric Single-Shot Parity Measurement in an InAs-Al Hybrid Device

Morteza Aghaee, Alejandro Alcaraz Ramirez, Zulfi Alam +159

The fusion of non-Abelian anyons or topological defects is a fundamental operation in measurement-only topological quantum computation. In topological superconductors, this operati…

Response to recent comments on Phys. Rev. B 107, 245423 (2023) and Subsection S4.3 of the Supp. Info. for Nature 638, 651-655 (2025)

Morteza Aghaee, Zulfi Alam, Mariusz Andrzejczuk +127

The topological gap protocol (TGP) is a statistical test designed to identify a topological phase with high confidence and without human bias. It is used to determine a promising p…

Distinct Lifetimes for and Loop Measurements in a Majorana Tetron Device

Morteza Aghaee, Zulfi Alam, Rikke Andersen +164

We present a hardware realization and measurements of a tetron qubit device in a superconductor-semiconductor heterostructure. The device architecture contains two parallel superco…
