Majorana Zero Modes in a Topological Nanowire

Interactive Kitaev-chain simulator: tune chemical potential, pairing and hopping on a 1D topological superconducting wire and watch unpaired Majorana zero modes localize at its ends, then measure the non-local fermion parity they encode.

This simulator renders the Kitaev chain — the canonical minimal model of a topological superconducting nanowire — as a 3D lattice of paired Majorana fermions. Each physical site splits into two Majorana operators; sliders for chemical potential μ, pairing Δ and hopping t set exactly how those operators pair up, and the 3D bond brightness shows that pairing directly: short on-site bonds in the trivial phase, long inter-site bonds in the topological phase, leaving one Majorana unpaired at each end of the wire. Live readouts track the bulk excitation gap, the end-mode localization length, and the topological winding invariant, and a parity-measurement button demonstrates how the two end modes encode one non-local, noise-resistant topological qubit.

Tune chemical potential, pairing and hopping on an interactive Kitaev chain and watch unpaired Majorana zero modes localize at the wire's ends, then measure the non-local fermion parity they encode as a topological qubit.
