Of course, what is amazing about Kitaev's scheme is the claim that Z and controlled Z gates can be protected! Kitaev's scheme for a protected qubit in a circuit. Superconducting qubits can be improved by using better materials -- e.g., by replacing the amorphous dielectrics in capacitors with crystalline materials
