Revealing topological protection through unprotected operations in a Majorana parity qubit

Sebastian Miles, Juan Daniel Torres Luna, Francesco Zatelli +7

A recent experiment reported coherent parity oscillations between minimal Kitaev chains, demonstrating a Majorana parity qubit (arXiv:2607.09511). Operations on this qubit are cont…

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…
