Majorana surface code[1,2] 

Description

Majorana analogue of the surface code defined on a 2D lattice and constructed out of Majorana box qubit codes placed on patches of the lattice.

Gates

Ordinary and twist-based lattice surgery [3] (see also [4]).

Fault Tolerance

Ordinary and twist-based lattice surgery can be made fault tolerant [3] (see also [4]).

Parent

Cousins

  • Kitaev surface code — The Majorana surface code is a Majorana stabilizer analogue of the surface code.
  • Majorana box qubit — Majorana box qubits, such as hexons, tetrons, octons, and dodecons, are placed onto patches of a 2D lattice to form Majorana surface codes [3; Table I].
