  Initializing the ground state of a quantum bit (qubit) based on Majorana zero
modes is one of the most pressing issues for future topological quantum
computers. We explore a parity-to-magnetism protocol for initializing such
topological qubits based on magnet-superconductor hybrid networks by coupling
magnetic chains to a single molecule magnet. The coupling can be activated by
switching the spin state of the molecule, allowing the ground state parity of
the chain to be controlled. We demonstrate that initialization with either
parity for a Majorana qubit can be achieved. We then introduce the dressed
Majorana qubit, which includes the state of the molecule in the definition of
the logical qubit. Using this definition we can initialize a qubit without
high-precision timing.
