Many-body Majorana operators and the equivalence of parity sectors
G. Kells
The one-dimensional p-wave topological superconductor model with open-boundary conditions is examined in its topological phase. Using the eigenbasis of the non-interacting system I…
Kitaev spin models from topological nanowire networks
Graham Kells, Ville Lahtinen, Jiri Vala
We show that networks of topological nanowires can realize the physics of exactly solvable Kitaev spin models with two-body interactions. This connection arises from the descriptio…
Endstates in multichannel spinless p-wave superconducting wires
M. -T. Rieder, G. Kells, M. Duckheim +2
Multimode spinless p-wave superconducting wires with a width W much smaller than the superconducting coherence length ξare known to have multiple low-energy subgap states localized…
Exact results for the star lattice chiral spin liquid
G. Kells, D. Mehta, J. K. Slingerland +1
We examine the star lattice Kitaev model whose ground state is a a chiral spin liquid. We fermionize the model such that the fermionic vacua are toric code states on an effective K…
