Reducing the cost of ancilla purification for Majorana quantum computation

arXiv:2610.37991v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Braiding Majorana zero modes does not by itself provide a universal set of quantum gates. Additional operations can be supplied through ancillary states, whose preparation need not have the same protection as braiding. Here, we consider purification of the non-Gaussian ancilla used for an entangling gate in Bravyi's scheme.

arXiv:2610.37991v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Braiding Majorana zero modes does not by itself provide a universal set of quantum gates. Additional operations can be supplied through ancillary states, whose preparation need not have the same protection as braiding. Here, we consider purification of the non-Gaussian ancilla used for an entangling gate in Bravyi's scheme. We keep his elementary braid-and-fusion comparison and change how its outputs are combined. An additional layer compares the product of the three stabilizer signs. The first accepted errors giving an incorrect output then require three faulty input blocks rather than two. As a result, the preparation error decreases cubically instead of quadratically, and the asymptotic raw-copy overhead is reduced.
