Braiding operations are challenging to create topological quantum computers. It is unclear whether braiding operations can be executed with any materials. Although various calculations based on Majorana fermions show braiding possibilities, a braiding operation with a Majorana fermion has not yet been experimentally proven. Herein, braiding operations are demonstrated using a molecular topological superconductor (MTSC) that utilizes the topological properties intrinsic in molecules. The braiding operations were implemented by controlling two MTSC modules made by pelletizing crystals of 4,5,9,10-tetrakis(dodecyloxy)pyrene, which is proposed as the first MTSC material through n-MOSFETs. It shows the elements of topological quantum computers that can be demonstrated without an external magnetic field at room temperature.
