Topological qubits with Majorana fermions in trapped ions

We propose a method of encoding a topologically protected qubit using Majorana fermions in a trapped-ion chain. This qubit is protected against major sources of decoherence, while local operations and measurements can be realized. Furthermore, we show that an efficient quantum interface and memory f...
