Braiding and all quantum operations with Majorana modes in 1D

TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel 1D scheme for braiding and quantum operations with Majorana modes using resonant manipulation of the first excited state, enabling initialization and read-out.

Contribution

It presents a new approach to Majorana-based quantum operations in 1D that relies solely on resonant manipulation of the first excited state, differing from previous methods.

Findings

Scheme enables braiding and quantum operations in 1D

Resonant manipulation of the first excited state is effective

Detection of excited state population allows initialization and read-out

Abstract

We propose a scheme to perform braiding and all other unitary operations with Majorana modes in 1D that, in contrast to previous proposals, is solely based on resonant manipulation involving the first excited state extended over the modes. The detection of the population of the excited state also enables initialization and read-out. We provide an elaborated illustration of the scheme with a concrete device.
