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.
