Abstract: Example methods and mechanisms are described herein for implementing and adiabatically operating a topological quantum computing (TQC) phase gate that complements the existing Clifford operations, and thereby allows universal quantum computation with Majorana systems. Further embodiments include a testing system for the phase gate that is feasible with Majorana zero modes and demonstrates violations of the CHSH-Bell inequality. Further, the design used for the testing of the inequality leads directly to a practical platform for performing universal TQC with Majorana wires in which explicit braiding need never occur.

Abstract: In this disclosure, example networks of coupled superconducting nanowires hosting MZMs are disclosed that can be used to realize a more powerful type of non-Abelian defect: a genon in an Ising×Ising topological state. The braiding of such genons provides the missing topological single-qubit ?/8 phase gate. Combined with joint fermion parity measurements of MZMs, these operations provide a way to realize universal TQC.
