Claim 18:
19. The method of claim 18, further comprising
identifying a boundary portion of the plurality of Majorana-based qubits and corresponding plaquettes with a boundary code of the Floquet code;
performing a sequence of steps of the boundary code on the boundary portion, each step comprising check measurements on qubits in the boundary portion that are performed by controlling the gateable semiconductor device to form connections between respective qubits in the boundary portion, wherein
the boundary portion includes coherent links, each of the coherent links comprising a segment of a topological superconductor arranged in a qubit column of the qubit columns between vertically adjacent Majorana-based qubits of the qubit column, the coherent link providing a quantum information path from a first side of the qubit column to a second side of the qubit column, and
the check measurements performed in the boundary portion each use at most one of the coherent links, and the check measurements performed in the bulk portion each use none of the coherent links.
