Scalable Designs for Quasiparticle-Poisoning-Protected Topological Quantum Computation with Majorana Zero Modes

Torsten Karzig, Christina Knapp, Roman M. Lutchyn +9

We present designs for scalable quantum computers composed of qubits encoded in aggregates of four or more Majorana zero modes, realized at the ends of topological superconducting…

Tunable spin-orbit coupling and symmetry-protected edge states in graphene/WS

Bowen Yang, Min-Feng Tu, Jeongwoo Kim +6

We demonstrate clear weak anti-localization (WAL) effect arising from induced Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in WS-covered single-layer and bilayer graphene devices. Contrary…

Interaction effects in superconductor/quantum spin Hall devices: universal transport signatures and fractional Coulomb blockade

David Aasen, Shu-Ping Lee, Torsten Karzig +1

Interfacing s-wave superconductors and quantum spin Hall edges produces time-reversal-invariant topological superconductivity of a type that can not arise in strictly 1D systems. W…

Ising Anyons in Frustration-Free Majorana-Dimer Models

Brayden Ware, Jun Ho Son, Meng Cheng +3

Dimer models have long been a fruitful playground for understanding topological physics. Here we introduce a new class - termed Majorana-dimer models - wherein bosonic dimers are d…

Bosonic Analogue of Dirac Composite Fermi Liquid

David F. Mross, Jason Alicea, Olexei I. Motrunich

We introduce a particle-hole-symmetric metallic state of bosons in a magnetic field at odd-integer filling. This state hosts composite fermions whose energy dispersion features a q…

Approaching a topological phase transition in Majorana nanowires

Ryan V. Mishmash, David Aasen, Andrew P. Higginbotham +1

Recent experiments have produced mounting evidence of Majorana zero modes in nanowire-superconductor hybrids. Signatures of an expected topological phase transition accompanying th…
