1D Error Correcting Code for Majorana Qubits

Although Majorana platforms are promising avenues to realizing topological quantum computing, they are still susceptible to errors from thermal noise and other sources. We show that the error rate of Majorana qubits can be drastically reduced using a 1D repetition code. The success of the code is due the imbalance between the phase error rate and the flip error rate. We demonstrate how a repetition code can be naturally constructed from segments of Majorana nanowires. We find the optimal lifetime may be extended from a millisecond to over one second.
