Majorana parity qubit in coupled minimal Kitaev chains

Francesco Zatelli, Bart Roovers, Nick van Loo +11

Majorana zero modes provide a route to fault-tolerant qubits by encoding information non-locally in fermion parity. Their sensitivity to noise is expected to decrease exponentially…

Cross-Platform Autonomous Control of Minimal Kitaev Chains

David van Driel, Rouven Koch, Vincent P. M. Sietses +21

Contemporary quantum devices are reaching new limits in size and complexity, allowing for the experimental exploration of emergent quantum modes. However, this increased complexity…

Single-shot parity readout of a minimal Kitaev chain

Nick van Loo, Francesco Zatelli, Gorm O. Steffensen +12

Protecting qubits from noise is essential for building reliable quantum computers. Topological qubits offer a route to this goal by encoding quantum information non-locally, using…

Probing Majorana localization of a phase-controlled three-site Kitaev chain with an additional quantum dot

Alberto Bordin, Florian J. Bennebroek Evertsz', Bart Roovers +11

Few-site implementations of the Kitaev chain offer a minimal platform to study the emergence and stability of Majorana bound states. Here, we realize two- and three-site chains in…

Hard superconducting gap in InSb nanowires

Önder Gül, Hao Zhang, Folkert K. de Vries +14

Topological superconductivity is a state of matter that can host Majorana modes, the building blocks of a topological quantum computer. Many experimental platforms predicted to sho…

Perspective on Majorana bound-states in hybrid superconductor-semiconductor nanowires

Leo Kouwenhoven

Topological quantum computing and Majorana bound states were initially theorized between 2000 and 2010. These concepts gradually transitioned to practical implementations during th…
