Abstract
The present invention relates to a quantum computing unit comprising a superconducting substrate or other superconducting component, at least three outer Majorana modes, and at least one inner Majorana mode, wherein the at least three outer Majorana modes are located along an outer perimeter, and wherein the at least one inner Majorana mode is located within the outer perimeter. This spatial configuration of the four participating Majorana modes allows to control the time-dependent coupling between the respective Majorana modes. The related quantum gates can be performed perfectly in a finite time, preferably with a frequency of up to several GHz. These include the braiding gate, the π/8 magic phase gate, the π/12 phase gate, and, for multi-qubit systems, the CNOT gate. The robustness of the mechanism guarantees that for special times the quantum gate is conducted the quantum gate is perfectly realized. This property is independent of material specific parameters. Hence, the behavior can be expected in all systems where Majorana zero modes appear in the center of Abrikosov vortices, in particular, not only in FeTeSe, which we consider as an example.
