QUANTUM DEVICES FORMED FROM A SINGLE SUPERCONDUCTING WIRE HAVING A CONFIGURABLE GROUND CONNECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240030328 titled 'QUANTUM DEVICES FORMED FROM A SINGLE SUPERCONDUCTING WIRE HAVING A CONFIGURABLE GROUND CONNECTION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for quantum devices made from a single superconducting wire with a configurable ground connection. The device consists of multiple sections, some of which can be in a topological phase and others in a trivial phase. Semiconducting regions are formed adjacent to the wire, which can store quantum information in Majorana zero modes (MZMs). The MZMs can be measured using the semiconducting regions.
- The patent application describes quantum devices made from a single superconducting wire.

Original Abstract Submitted
quantum devices formed from a single superconducting wire having a configurable ground connection are described. an example quantum device, configurable to be grounded, comprises a single superconducting wire having at least a first section and a second section, each of which is configurable to be in a topological phase and at least a third section configurable to be in a trivial phase. the quantum device further comprises semiconducting regions formed adjacent to the single superconducting wire, where the single superconducting wire is configurable to store quantum information in at least four majorana zero modes (mzms). the semiconducting regions formed adjacent to the single superconducting wire may be used to measure quantum information stored in the at least four mzms.
