Abstract
Quantum devices with two-sided or single-sided dual-purpose Majorana zero mode (MZM) junctions are described. An example quantum device comprises at least one superconducting island configurable to support at least one pair of Majorana zero modes (MZMs). The quantum device further includes a first conductor configurable to be coupled with at least one MZM of the at least one pair of MZMs, where the first conductor is configurable to be in at least one of a grounded state or a Coulomb blockade state. The quantum device further includes a second conductor configurable to be coupled with the at least one MZM of the at least one pair of MZMs, where the second conductor is configurable to be in at least one of a grounded state or a Coulomb blockade state.
