THE QUANTUM INTELLIGENCER

COPENHAGEN, 6 JANUARY — Zero modes braided at last. Not in theory, but in etched nanowires. The interferometer hums at millikelvin, its reference arms lit by tunneling currents—faint, coherent, interfering. One hears not sound, but the absence of noise: phase echoes canceling dynamical drift. A half-flux quantum flips coupling like a saboteur switching rail tracks; the system remembers its path, geometrically. Here, in gallium arsenide mesas, the Majoranas dance in triplets—no four-fold symmetry, no excess hardware. Clifford gates confirmed. More: the T-gate looms, realized not by error-prone pulses, but by curvature of state space. This is not incremental. If scaling holds, decoherence—the old siege of quantum coherence—falls to topology’s fortress. Heed: the era of fragile qubits may end not with a cry, but with a silent braid in a cooled chip. —Ada H. Pemberley Dispatch from The Prepared E0
