• Abstract: While a minimal Kitaev chain is promised to host unprotected Majorana zero modes, its role for spin qubits is relatively underappreciated. Following recent breakthroughs in the fine control of transport behaviors, we propose to use minimal Kitaev chain as a robust coupling module between spin qubits. Long-distance, anisotropic exchange coupling can be mediated by the Andreev bound states (ABSs) in the hybrid segment. The chemical potential of ABS gives a simple way to selectively control the coupling strength and its response to local perturbations. Moreover, this additional control degree of freedom creates a unique sweet spot, allowing both strong coupling and first-order immunity against charge noise. The protected qubit encoded on the minimal Kitaev chain at the sweet spot is shown to boast over 200 fold improvement in decoherence time.

  Poor man's Majorana Bound States arise in minimal Kitaev chains when the parameters are fine-tuned to a sweet spot. We consider an interacting two-site Kitaev chain coupled to a single-mode cavity and show that the sweet spot condition can be controlled with the cavity frequency and the hopping between sites.
