 Abstract electrons are indivisible elementary particles, but when grouped together they can behave like a fraction of a single particle, exhibiting exotic and useful properties. One such collective excitation, known as a topological majoranomode, is naturally stable against perturbations, making it ideal for storing quantum information. In this paper, researchers demonstrated a verifiable identification and braiding of topological majoranomodes using a superconducting quantum processor as a quantum simulator. They confirmed the existence of majoranomodes localized at the edges, distinguishing them from other trivial modes. The team also proposed a non-adiabatic technique, which revealed correct braiding statistics in their experiments. This work could further be used to study topological models of matter using circuit-based simulations, and could speed up fundamental discoveries in quantum science and technology.
