Hybrid Topological Quantum Computation With Majorana Fermions: A Cold-Atom Setup
PHYSICAL REVIEW A(2014)
Abstract
In this paper, we present a hybrid scheme for topological quantum computation in a system of cold atoms trapped in an atomic lattice. A topological qubit subspace is defined using Majorana fermions which emerge in a network of atomic Kitaev one-dimensional wires. We show how braiding can be efficiently implemented in this setup and propose a direct way to demonstrate the non-Abelian nature of Majorana fermions via a single-parity measurement. We then introduce a proposal for the efficient, robust, and reversible mapping of the topological qubits to a conventional qubit stored in a single atom. There, well-controlled standard techniques can be used to implement the missing gates required for universal computation. Our setup is complemented with an efficient nondestructive protocol to check for errors in the mapping.
