We propose a topological qubit in which braiding and readout are mediated by the $4pi$ Majorana-Josephson effect. The braidonium device consists of three Majorana nanowires that come together to make a tri-junction; in order to control the superconducting phase differences at the tri-junction the nanowires are enclosed in a ring made of a conventional superconductor; and in order to perform initialization/readout one of the nanowires is coupled to a fluxonium qubit through a topological Josephson junction. We analyze how flux-based control and readout protocols can be used to demonstrate braiding and qubit operation for realistic materials and circuit parameters.

The $4pi$-periodic Josephson effect is an indicator of Majorana zero modes and a ground-state degeneracy which are central to topological quantum computation. However, the observability of a $4pi$-periodic Josephson current-phase relation (CPR) is hi
ndered by the necessity to fix the fermionic parity. As an alternative to a $4pi$-periodic CPR, this paper proposes a chiral CPR for the $4pi$-periodic Josephson effect. This is a CPR of the form $J(phi) propto C , |sin(phi/2)|$, describing a unidirectional supercurrent with the chirality $C= pm 1$. Its non-analytic dependence on the Josephson phase difference $phi$ translates into the $4pi$-periodic CPR $J(phi) propto sin(phi/2)$. The proposal requires a spin-polarized topological Josephson junction which is modeled here as a short link between spin-split superconducting channels at the edge of a two-dimensional topological insulator. In this case, $C$ coincides with the Chern number of the occupied spin band of the topological insulator. The paper details three scenarios of achieving a chiral CPR: By only Zeeman-like splitting, by Zeeman splitting combined with bias currents, and by an external out-of-plane magnetic field.
Coupling an isolated emitter to a single mode of the electromagnetic field is now routinely achieved and well understood. Current efforts aim to explore the coherent dynamics of emitters coupled to several electromagnetic modes (EM). freedom. Recentl
y, ultrastrong coupling to a transmission line has been achieved where the emitter resonance broadens to a significant fraction of its frequency. In this work we gain significantly improved control over this regime. We do so by combining the simplicity of a transmon qubit and a bespoke EM environment with a high density of discrete modes, hosted inside a superconducting metamaterial. This produces a unique device in which the hybridisation between the qubit and up to 10 environmental modes can be monitored directly. Moreover the frequency and broadening of the qubit resonance can be tuned independently of each other in situ. We experimentally demonstrate that our device combines this tunability with ultrastrong coupling and a qubit nonlinearity comparable to the other relevant energy scales in the system. We also develop a quantitative theoretical description that does not contain any phenomenological parameters and that accurately takes into account vacuum fluctuations of our large scale quantum circuit in the regime of ultrastrong coupling and intermediate non-linearity. The demonstration of this new platform combined with a quantitative modelling brings closer the prospect of experimentally studying many-body effects in quantum optics. A limitation of the current device is the intermediate nonlinearity of the qubit. Pushing it further will induce fully developed many-body effects, such as a giant Lamb shift or nonclassical states of multimode optical fields. Observing such effects would establish interesting links between quantum optics and the physics of quantum impurities.
The Josephson energy of two superconducting islands containing Majorana fermions is a 4pi-periodic function of the superconducting phase difference. If the islands have a small capacitance, their ground state energy is governed by the competition of
Josephson and charging energies. We calculate this ground state energy in a ring geometry, as a function of the flux -Phi- enclosed by the ring, and show that the dependence on the Aharonov-Bohm phase 2ePhi/hbar remains 4pi-periodic regardless of the ratio of charging and Josephson energies - provided that the entire ring is in a topologically nontrivial state. If part of the ring is topologically trivial, then the charging energy induces quantum phase slips that restore the usual 2pi-periodicity.
The quantum coherence of electronic quasiparticles underpins many of the emerging transport properties of conductors at small scales. Novel electronic implementations of quantum optics devices are now available with perspectives such as flying qubit
manipulations. However, electronic quantum interferences in conductors remained up to now limited to propagation paths shorter than $30,mu$m, independently of the material. Here we demonstrate strong electronic quantum interferences after a propagation along two $0.1,$mm long pathways in a circuit. Interferences of visibility as high as $80%$ and $40%$ are observed on electronic analogues of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer of, respectively, $24,mu$m and $0.1,$mm arm length, consistently corresponding to a $0.25,$mm electronic phase coherence length. While such devices perform best in the integer quantum Hall regime at filling factor 2, the electronic interferences are restricted by the Coulomb interaction between copropagating edge channels. We overcome this limitation by closing the inner channel in micron-scale loops of frozen internal degrees of freedom, combined with a loop-closing strategy providing an essential isolation from the environment.
Spins in silicon quantum devices are promising candidates for large-scale quantum computing. Gate-based sensing of spin qubits offers compact and scalable readout with high fidelity, however further improvements in sensitivity are required to meet th
e fidelity thresholds and measurement timescales needed for the implementation of fast-feedback in error correction protocols. Here, we combine radio-frequency gate-based sensing at 622 MHz with a Josephson parametric amplifier (JPA), that operates in the 500-800 MHz band, to reduce the integration time required to read the state of a silicon double quantum dot formed in a nanowire transistor. Based on our achieved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), we estimate that singlet-triplet single-shot readout with an average fidelity of 99.7% could be performed in 1 $mu$s, well-below the requirements for fault-tolerant readout and 30 times faster than without the JPA. Additionally, the JPA allows operation at a lower RF power while maintaining identical SNR. We determine a noise temperature of 200 mK with a contribution from the JPA (25%), cryogenic amplifier (25%) and the resonator (50%), showing routes to further increase the read-out speed.
