Universal quantum computation on a semiconductor quantum wire network
Jay D. Sau, Sumanta Tewari, S. Das Sarma
Universal quantum computation (UQC) using Majorana fermions on a 2D topological superconducting (TS) medium remains an outstanding open problem. This is because the quantum gate se…
Non-Abelian quantum order in spin-orbit-coupled semiconductors: The search for topological Majorana particles in solid state systems
Jay D. Sau, Sumanta Tewari, Roman Lutchyn +2
We show that an ordinary semiconducting thin film with spin-orbit coupling can, under ap- propriate circumstances, be in a quantum topologically ordered state supporting exotic Maj…
Antiferromagnetic Spinor Condensates are Quantum Rotors
Ryan Barnett, Jay D. Sau, S. Das Sarma
We establish a theoretical correspondence between spin-one antiferromagnetic spinor condensates in an external magnetic field and quantum rotor models in an external potential. We…
Majorana Fermions and a Topological Phase Transition in Semiconductor-Superconductor Heterostructures
Roman M. Lutchyn, Jay D. Sau, S. Das Sarma
We propose and analyze theoretically an experimental setup for detecting the elusive Majorana particle in semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures. The experimental system con…
Proximity effect at the superconductor - topological insulator interface
Tudor D. Stanescu, Jay D. Sau, Roman M. Lutchyn +1
We study the excitation spectrum of a topological insulator in contact with an s-wave superconductor, starting from a microscopic model, and develop an effective low-energy model f…
