Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

5.3.3 Qubit implementation in nanowire networks

Course subject(s) Module 5. Topological quits

In the final video of this module, Attila will introduce you to qubit implementation in nanowire networks. He will show some real-life implementations of topological qubits which are actively being researched around the globe. When will researchers be able to have first experimental demonstration of this intriguing qubit? 

Main takeaways

  • The way to performing braiding is using a Y-junction.
  • In order to measure the states, degeneracy has to be broken by splitting off states.
  • It remains to be seen which geometry will lead to the very first experimental demonstration of a topological qubit.
