Title: Readout of Majorana Qubits
Authors: Jacob F. Steiner and Felix von Oppen
Abstract summary: We focus on the readout of Majorana qubits via continuous charge sensing of a tunnel-coupled quantum dot by a quantum point contact. We find that qubit readout may have to rely on measuring noise correlations of the quantum-point-contact current.

Abstract: Schemes for topological quantum computation with Majorana bound states rely heavily on the ability to measure products of Majorana operators projectively. Here, we employ Markovian quantum measurement theory, including the readout device, to analyze such measurements. Specifically, we focus on the readout of Majorana qubits via continuous charge sensing of a tunnel-coupled quantum dot by a quantum point contact. We show that projective measurements of Majorana products $\prod_i\hat{\gamma}_i$ can be implemented by continuous charge sensing under quite general circumstances. Essential requirements are that a combined local parity $\hat{\pi}$, involving the quantum dot charge along with the Majorana product of interest, be conserved, and that the two eigenspaces of the combined parity $\hat{\pi}$ generate distinguishable measurement signals. We find that qubit readout may have to rely on measuring noise correlations of the quantum-point-contact current. The average current encodes the qubit readout only transiently for fine-tuned parameters or in the presence of relaxation processes. We also discuss the corresponding measurement and decoherence times and consider processes such as residual Majorana hybridizations which are detrimental to the measurement protocol. Finally, we emphasize that the underlying mechanism -- which we term symmetry-protected readout -- is quite general and has further implications for both, Majorana and non-Majorana systems.

Dissipationless topological quantum computation for Majorana objects in sparse-dense mixed encoding process [8.345976310980795]
Topological quantum computation based on Majorana objects is subject to a significant challenge. Some of the two-qubit quantum gates rely on the fermion parity of the qubits. We devise topological operations that allow for the non-dissipative correction of information from undesired fermion parity to the desired one.

Reconstruction of quantum states from experimental measurements is crucial for the verification and benchmarking of quantum devices.

We describe the dynamics of a Majorana qubit built from quantum dots controlled by time-dependent gate voltages. We provide quantitative guidelines to suppress both diabatic errors and disorder-induced qubit dephasing. Our simulations predict realistic features that are expected to be seen in future braiding experiments with Majorana zero modes and other topological qubit architectures.

Anticipative measurements in hybrid quantum-classical computation [68.8204255655161]
We present an approach where the quantum computation is supplemented by a classical result. Taking advantage of its anticipation also leads to a new type of quantum measurements, which we call anticipative. In an anticipative quantum measurement the combination of the results from classical and quantum computations happens only in the end.

Dispersive readout of Majorana qubits [0.0]
We consider two variants of Majorana qubits: the Majorana transmon and the Majorana box qubit. In both cases, the qubit-resonator interaction can produce sizeable dispersive shifts in the MHz range for reasonable system parameters. We show that the latter gives faster and higher fidelity readout for reasonable parameters, while having the additional advantage of being manifestly QND.
