Quantum technology has the potential to revolutionize computation,cryptography, and simulation of quantum systems. However, and quantum physics places a original demand on information processing hardware: quantum states are fragile,and so must be controlled without being measured. Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have now demonstrated a key property of Majorana zero modes that protects them from decoherence. The result lends positive support to the existence of Majorana modes, and goes further by showing that they are protected, or as predicted theoretically. The results have been published in the prestigious scientific magazine,Nature.
