Braiding Majorana zero modes (MZMs) is the key procedure toward topological quantum computation. We show such braiding can be well performed in a parallel semiconductor-superconductor nanowire structure. Considering the fact that the low-energy Andreev bound states (ABSs) usually mix with the MZMs in the present set-up, we further investigate the braiding properties of MZMs when an ABS is presented. Our numerical simulation suggests that ABS can be regarded as a pair of weakly coupled MZMs. The dynamical hybridization of MZMs plus the non-Abelian braiding of MZMs would induce an arbitrary rotation on the Bloch sphere of a single qubit. Remarkably, such rotation is manipulable since the rotation parameters could be individually modulated. Thus, the dynamic evolution can be eliminated and the non-Abelian braiding statistics, independent of the braiding time, retrieves.
