Majorana Class

This class models physical instructions that may be relevant for future Majorana qubits. For these qubits, we assume that measurements and the physical T gate each take 1 µs. Owing to topological protection in the hardware, we assume single and two-qubit measurement error rates (Clifford error rates) in $10^{-4}$, $10^{-5}$, and $10^{-6}$ as a range between realistic and optimistic targets. Non-Clifford operations in this architecture do not have topological protection, so we assume a 5%, 1.5%, and 1% error rate for non-Clifford physical T gates for the three cases, respectively.
