Abstract:
A twisted track interferometer (TTI) for producing magic states is disclosed. The spin of ½-vortices may be exploited to produce magic states. The disclosed “twisted track interferometer” is a “topological twist” on the conventional Pabre-Pero interferometer adapted to topological superconductors. In the disclosed TTI, the probe particles may be Josephson vortices (JVs). JVs are estimated to be light and will tunnel more easily than Abrikosov vortices. Also, the disclosed TTI does not require multiple tunneling events. Rather, the JVs are propelled down thin insulating tracks within a 2D topological p-wave superconductor by a Magnus force generated by a tunneling supercurrent across the tracks. The JVs encounter tunneling junctions as they pass into the arms of the TTI.
