Abstract
A recent experiment [arXiv:2507.08795] has reported measurements of the interwire -parity lifetime in a Majorana tetron device via the quantum capacitance of an auxiliary readout dot. Motivated by these measurements, we theoretically study the interwire parity lifetime in a minimal model of the coupled dot-tetron system subject to electrostatic noise. We show that coupling to the measurement dot can itself strongly modify the parity dynamics by generating an energy splitting that shifts noise-induced transitions to finite frequency and thereby stabilizes the measured states against low-frequency fluctuations. For representative noise strengths motivated by disordered nanowire devices, we find -parity switching lifetimes of order microseconds in the measurement configuration even when the corresponding bare-tetron coherence time is only tens of nanoseconds long. We analyze both the dispersive regime, where the dot can be integrated out and the dynamics reduces to an effective two-level system, and the near-resonant regime, where all four low-energy states participate. In the latter case, rapid transitions organize the spectrum into two long-lived manifolds that approximately correspond to sectors of the combined dot-tetron -loop parity, yielding effective two-state switching despite the underlying multilevel structure. Our results show that measurement-induced stabilization can substantially enhance the observed -parity switching lifetime, such that the lifetime measured under continuous readout can greatly exceed the intrinsic idle coherence time of the isolated Majorana tetron qubit.
