Simulating the dynamics of braiding of Majorana zero modes using an IBM
  quantum computer
We simulate the dynamics of braiding Majorana zero modes on an IBM Quantum
computer. We find the native quantum gates introduce too much noise to observe
braiding. Instead, we use Qiskit Pulse to develop scaled two-qubit quantum
gates that better match the unitary time evolution operator and enable us to
observe braiding. This work demonstrates that quantum computers can be used for
simulation, and highlights the use of pulse-level control for programming
quantum computers and constitutes the first experimental evidence of braiding
via dynamical Hamiltonian evolution.
