The fusion of non-Abelian anyons or topological defects is a fundamental operation in measurement-only topological quantum computation.

We present measurements and simulations of semiconductor-superconductor heterostructure devices that are consistent with the observation of topological superconductivity and Majorana zero modes.

Large scale computer simulations are time-consuming to run and often require sweeps over input parameters to obtain a qualitative understanding of the simulation output.
