METHOD FOR PLANAR IMPLEMENTATION OF p/8 GATE IN CHIRAL TOPOLOGICAL SUPERCONDUCTORS

摘要

Disclosed herein is a topologically protected p/8-gate which becomes universal when combined with the gates available through quasi-particle braiding and planar quasi- particle interferometry. A twisted interferometer, and a planar p/8-gate in CTS, implemented with the help of the twisted interferometer, are disclosed. Embodiments are described in the context of state X (CTS) supported by an ISH, although the concept of a twisted- interferometer is more general and has relevance to all anionic, i.e. quasiparticle systems.
