Exactly solving the Kitaev chain and generating Majorana-zero-modes out of noisy qubits

Abstract Majorana-zero-modes (MZMs) were predicted to exist as edge states of a physical system called the Kitaev chain. MZMs should host particles that are their own antiparticles and could be used as a basis for a qubit which is robust-to-noise. However, all attempts to prove their existence gave...
