Abstract: A fusion outcome quasiparticle may be trapped in a potential well of a topological segment. The fusion outcome quasiparticle may be the product of fusion of a first quasiparticle and a second quasiparticle, where the first and the second quasiparticles are localized at ends of a topological segment. The potential well having the fusion outcome quasiparticle trapped therein and a third quasiparticle may be moved relative to each other such that the potential well and the third quasiparticle are brought toward each other. The quasiparticles may be Majorana modes of a nanowire.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technology comprise methods and/or devices for performing measurements and/or manipulations of the collective state of a set of Majorana quasiparticles/Majorana zero modes (MZMs). Example methods/devices utilize the shift of the combined energy levels due to coupling multiple quantum systems (e.g., in a Stark-effect-like fashion). The example methods can be used for performing measurements of the collective topological charge or fermion parity of a group of MZMs (e.g., a pair of MZMs or a group of 4 MZMs). The example devices can be utilized in any system supporting MZMs.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a modular unit for a topologic qubit and of scalable quantum computing architectures using such modular units are disclosed herein. For example, one example embodiment is a modular unit for a topological obit comprising 6 Majorana zero modes (MZMs) on a mesoscopic super-conducting island. These units can provide the computational MZMs with protection from quasiparticle poisoning. Several possible realizations of these modular units are described herein. Also disclosed herein are example designs for scalable quantum computing, architectures comprising the modular units together with gates and reference arms (e.g., quantum dots, Majorana wires, etc.) configured to enable joint parity measurements to be performed for various combinations of two or four MZMs associated with one or two modular units, as well as other operations on the states of MZMs.

Abstract: Among the embodiments disclosed herein are example methods for generating all Clifford gates for a system of Majorana Tetron qubits (quasiparticle poisoning protected) given the ability to perform certain 4 Majorana zero mode measurements. Also disclosed herein are example designs for scalable quantum computing architectures that enable the methods for generating the Clifford gates, as well as other operations on the states of MZMs. These designs are configured in such a way as to allow the generation of all the Clifford gates with topological protection and non-Clifford gates (e.g. a ?/8-phase gate) without topological protection, thereby producing a computationally universal gate set. Several possible realizations of these architectures are disclosed.

Abstract: Measurement-only topological quantum computation using both projective and interferometrical measurement of topological charge is described. Various issues that would arise when realizing it in fractional quantum Hall systems are discussed.

Abstract: A quasiparticle interactor induces interactions between non-Abelian quasiparticles. State information is teleported between non-Abelian quasiparticles due to the interactions. The interactions induced by the quasiparticle interactor may be induced adiabatically and may be localized. The teleportation of state information may be utilized to generate quasiparticle exchange transformation operators acting on the state space of non-Abelian quasiparticles.

Abstract: A quantum computer may include topologically protected quantum gates and non-protected quantum gates, which may be applied to topological qubits. The non-protected quantum gates may be implemented with a partial interferometric device. The partial interferometric device may include a Fabry-Pérot double point contact interferometer configured to apply “partial” interferometry to a topological qubit.

Abstract: Computing bus devices that enable quantum information to be coherently transferred between conventional qubit pairs are disclosed. A concrete realization of such a quantum bus acting between conventional semiconductor double quantum dot qubits is described. The disclosed device measures the joint (fermion) parity of the two qubits by using the Aharonov-Casher effect in conjunction with an ancillary superconducting flux qubit that facilitates the measurement. Such a parity measurement, together with the ability to apply Hadamard gates to the two qubits, allows for the production of states in which the qubits are maximally entangled, and for teleporting quantum states between the quantum systems.
