contents We propose a novel architecture that utilizes two 0-$π$ qubits based on topological Josephson junctions to implement a parity-protected superconducting qubit. The topological Josephson junctions provides protection against fabrication variations, which ensures the identical Josephson junctions required to implement the0-$π$ qubit. By viewing the even and odd parity ground states of a 0-$π$ qubit as spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ states, we construct the logic qubit states using the total parity odd subspace of two 0-$π$ qubits. This parity-protected qubit exhibits robustness against charge noise, similar to a singlet-triplet qubit's immunity to global magnetic field fluctuations. Meanwhile, the flux noise cannot directly couple two states with the same total parity and therefore is greatly suppressed. Benefiting from the simultaneous protection from both charge and flux noise, we demonstrate a dramatic enhancement of both $T_1$ and $T_2$ coherence times. Our work presents a new approach to engineer symmetry-protected superconducting qubits.
