• Abstract: Majorana-based topological qubits are expected to exploit the nonabelian braiding statistics of Majorana modes in topological superconductors to realize fault-tolerant topological quantum computation. Scalable qubit designs require several Majorana modes localized on quantum wires networks, with braiding operations relying on the presence of the groundstate degeneracy of the topologically nontrivial superconducting phase. However, this degeneracy is lifted due to the hybridization between Majorana modes localized at a finite distance. Here, we describe a braiding protocol in a trijunction where each branch consists of a lattice of Majorana modes overlapping at a finite distance. We find that the energy splitting between the groundstate and the lowest-energy state decreases exponentially with the number of Majorana modes if the system is in its topologically nontrivial regime. This result does not rely on the specific braiding geometry and on the details of the braiding scheme but is a consequence of the supersymmetry and nontrivial topology of the effective low-energy Hamiltonian describing the Majorana lattice.

  We investigate the impact of introducing a local cavity within the center of a topological chain. This cavity induces a scissor-like effect that bisects the chain, liberating Majorana zero modes (MZMs) within the bulk. By leveraging the symmetry properties of fermion modes within a two-site cavity, we propose a novel method for generating MZM-polariton Schr"odinger cat states.

  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.

• Many-body Majorana braiding without an exponential Hilbert space [0.0]
  Qubits built out of Majorana zero modes (MZMs) constitute the primary path towards topologically protected quantum computing. Simulating the braiding process of multiple MZMs corresponds to the quantum dynamics of a superconducting many-body system. We present a method to calculate arbitrary many-body wavefunctions as well as their expectation values, correlators and overlaps from time evolved single-particle states of a superconductor.

  Key aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence can be captured in terms of tensor network models on hyperbolic lattices.
