The boundary of topological superconductors might lead to the appearance of Majorana edge modes, whose non-trivial exchange statistics can be used for topological quantum computing. In branched nanowire networks one can exchange Majorana states by time-dependently tuning topologically non-trivial parameter regions. In this work, we simulate the exchange of four Majorana modes in T-shaped junctions made out of p-wave superconducting Rashba wires. We derive concrete experimental predictions for (quasi-)adiabatic braiding times and determine geometric conditions for successful Majorana exchange processes. Contrary to the widespread opinion, we show for the first time that in the adiabatic limit the gating time needs to be smaller than the inverse of the squared superconducting order parameter and scales linearly with the gating potential. Further, we show how to circumvent the formation of additional Majorana modes in branched nanowire systems, arising at wire intersection points of narrow junctions. Finally, we propose a multi qubit setup, which allows for universal and in particular topologically protected quantum computing.
Majorana fermions are particles identical to their own antiparticles. They have been theoretically predicted to exist in topological superconductors. We report electrical measurements on InSb nanowires contacted with one normal (Au) and one supercond
Nonlocal quasiparticle transport in normal-superconductor-normal (NSN) hybrid structures probes sub-gap states in the proximity region and is especially attractive in the context of Majorana research. Conductance measurement provides only partial inf
