1. A quantum computing unit comprising a superconducting substrate, at least three outer Majorana modes, and at least one inner Majorana mode,
wherein the at least three outer Majorana modes are located along an outer perimeter, and
wherein the at least one inner Majorana mode is located within the outer perimeter at least proximal to the superconducting substrate;
wherein the outer Majorana modes and the inner Majorana mode are moved relative to each other such that the inner Majorana mode moves relative to the outer Majorana modes along a defined path proximal to the center of the outer perimeter;
wherein the outer Majorana modes and the inner Majorana mode are moved relative to each other along a defined path non-adiabatically in a defined finite time; and
wherein execution of a gate in the quantum computing unit operates without measurements of a state of the quantum computing unit.
