Symmetry-Induced Weyl Nodes in Interacting Multi-Terminal Josephson Junctions

Abstract

We show that an emergent geometric symmetry generates non-trivial topology in quantum-dot-based multi-terminal Josephson junctions. It confines same-spin Andreev bound state crossings to an analytic one-dimensional manifold of the synthetic Brillouin zone, where interdot coupling selects Weyl nodes of charge $\pm 1$ in the singlet sector and doubly degenerate cones of charge $\pm 2$ in the doublet sector, at gate-tunable locations. The mechanism yields a spectroscopic detection protocol and a design principle for fabricating devices with non-trivial topological signatures.
