Auto-tuning, manipulation and braiding of topological quantum bits in tapered nanowire networks

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

ical quantum bits in tapered nanowire networks Quantum computers will revolutionize multiple technology fields which will have a massive impact on society, in areas such as communication, healthcare, machine learning & artificial intelligence, finance, materials research and development and aerospace designing. Currently, the commercialization of quantum computers for real life applications is still a long shot due to major technical challenges like decoherence, a process in which the environment interacts with quantum bits and changes their quantum behavior causing computing errors. Topological quantum computer platforms offer an alternative route where the topological nature of quantum bits protects them from decoherence, therefore not needing error correction protocols that constraint development of commercial quantum computing systems. These mainly rely on Majorana zero modes, which are topological boundary modes predicted to be decoupled from decoherence. Topological computation is achieved by braiding of Majorana zero modes, but their manipulation is still an experimental chall
