Majorana qubit rotations in microwave cavities — •Thomas L. Schmidt, Andreas Nunnenkamp, and Christoph Bruder — Department of Physics, University of Basel, CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland

Majorana bound states have been proposed as building blocks for qubits on which certain operations can be performed in a topologically protected way using braiding. However, the set of these protected operations is not sufficient to realize universal quantum computing. We show that the electric field in a microwave cavity can induce Rabi oscillations between adjacent Majorana bound states. These oscillations can be used to implement an additional single-qubit gate. Supplemented with one braiding operation, this gate allows to perform arbitrary single-qubit operations.
