As the building blocks of topological quantum computation, Majorana zero modes (MZMs) have attracted tremendous attention in recent years. Scalable mesoscopic island designs with MZMs show great potential in quantum information processing. However, these systems are susceptible to quasi-particle poisoning which would induce various parity-breaking errors. To solve this problem, we modify the mesoscopic islands with gate-tunable valves and non-topological backbones. We study the lifetime of the Majorana qubits on these modified islands which are coupled to local bosonic and fermionic thermal baths. We consider both the parity-breaking and parity-preserving errors, and propose a parity correction scheme. By using Jordan-Wigner transformation, we analyze the probability of logical X and Y errors. The open quantum system is described by the Pauli master equation, and standard Monte Carlo simulations are applied to observe the behavior of the system when the parity correction proposal is implemented. The results demonstrate that (1) our parity correction proposal is effective to most of the parity-breaking errors; (2) the lifetime of the qubit benefits from larger island size before it meets the threshold; (3) small chemical potential $ mu $ on the non-topological backbones and fine tuned paring potential $ Delta $ of the topological bulk segment are required for high probability of correctness. Our results provide an effective error correction scheme for the parity-breaking errors.
Metallic quantum critical phenomena are believed to play a key role in many strongly correlated materials, including high temperature superconductors. Theoretically, the problem of quantum criticality in the presence of a Fermi surface has proven to
We extend the Blume-Emery-Griffiths (BEG) model to a two-component BEG model in order to study 2D systems with two order parameters, such as magnetic superconductors or two-component Bose-Einstein condensates. The model is investigated using Monte Ca

The boundary between the classical and quantum worlds has been intensely studied. It remains fascinating to explore how far the quantum concept can reach with use of specially fabricated elements. Here we employ a tunable flux qubit with basis states
