Weyl points in systems of multiple semiconductor-superconductor quantum dots
arXiv:1904.09158 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.100.035420
Abstract
As an analogy to the Weyl point in k-space, we search for energy levels which close at a single point as a function of a three dimensional parameter space. Such points are topologically protected in the sense that any perturbation which acts on the two level subsystem can be corrected by tuning the control parameters. We find that parameter controlled Weyl points are ubiquitous in semiconductor-superconductor quantum dots and that they are deeply related to Majorana zero modes. In this paper, we present several semiconductor-superconductor quantum dot devices which host parameter controlled Weyl points. Further, we show how these points can be observed experimentally via conductance measurements.
