Emulating quantum teleportation of a Majorana zero mode qubit

Understand

Topological quantum computation based on anyons is a promising approach to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computing.

• The Majorana zero modes in the Kitaev chain are an example of non-Abelian anyons where braiding operations can be used to perform quantum gates.
• Here we perform a quantum simulation of topological quantum computing, by teleporting a qubit encoded in the Majorana zero modes of a Kitaev chain.
• The quantum simulation is performed by mapping the Kitaev chain to its equivalent spin version, and realizing the ground states in a superconducting quantum processor.
