Abstract
In this disclosure, example networks of coupled superconducting nanowires hosting MZMs are disclosed that can be used to realize a more powerful type of non-Abelian defect: a genon in an Ising×Ising topological state. The braiding of such genons provides the missing topological single-qubit π/8 phase gate. Combined with joint fermion parity measurements of MZMs, these operations provide a way to realize universal TQC.
