Protecting quantum information from noise is one of the biggest challenges in building reliable quantum computers. A study published in Nature achieved a step considered essential: reading in a single measurement the state of a particularly difficult quantum cubit, based on the so-called Majorana modes.The work, entitled Single-shot parity readout of a minimal Kitaev chain, was carried out by researchers from Delft University of Technology and c…
One of the great headaches of quantum computing is that cubits tend to be as delicate as a soap bubble: looking at them “too loud” (measuring them) alters them. Therefore, for years there has been so much interest in topological cubits, a family of cubits that promise to withstand the noise of the environment better. The problem is that that same “coraza” that makes them attractive also makes them difficult to inspect. A work published in Nature…
Considered as the Grail of quantum computing for their robustness, Majorana's qubits remained an enigma on a crucial point: the reading of their state. A team of researchers has just lifted this veil.
Single-Shot Parity Readout of a Minimal Kitaev Chain: A Breakthrough in Majorana Qubits
In a major technical leap published in Nature on February 11, 2026, an international research team led by QuTech (Delft University of Technology) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) has demonstrated the first single-shot, real-time readout of the quantum information stored in Majorana qubits. This achievement addresses the "readout problem"—the long-standing experimental hurdle of [...] The post Single-Shot Parity Readout of a Minim…
