Robust Zero Energy Bound States Localized at Magnetic Impurities in Iron-based Superconductors

Kangjun Seo, Jay D. Sau, Sumanta Tewari

We investigate the effect of spin-orbit coupling on the in-gap bound states localized at magnetic impurities in multi-band superconductors with unconventional (sign-changed) and co…

A practical phase gate for producing Bell violations in Majorana wires

David J. Clarke, Jay D. Sau, Sankar Das Sarma

The Gottesman-Knill theorem holds that operations from the Clifford group, when combined with preparation and detection of qubit states in the computational basis, are insufficient…

Role of boundary conditions, topology and disorder in the chiral magnetic effect in Weyl semimetals

Yahya Alavirad, Jay D. Sau

Quantum field theory predicts Weyl semimetals to possess a peculiar response of the longitudinal current density to the application of a DC magnetic field. Such a response function…

Physical Architecture for a Universal Topological Quantum Computer based on a Network of Majorana Nanowires

Maissam Barkeshli, Jay D. Sau

The idea of topological quantum computation (TQC) is to store and manipulate quantum information in an intrinsically fault-tolerant manner by utilizing the physics of topologically…

Bulk disorder in the superconductor affects proximity-induced topological superconductivity

Hoi-Yin Hui, Jay D. Sau, S. Das Sarma

We investigate effects of ordinary nonmagnetic disorder in the bulk of a superconductor on magnetic adatom-induced Shiba states and on the proximity-induced superconductivity in a…

Dirty Weyl semimetals: Stability, phase transition and quantum criticality

Soumya Bera, Jay D. Sau, Bitan Roy

We study the stability of three-dimensional incompressible Weyl semimetals in the presence of random quenched charge impurities. Combining numerical analysis and scaling theory we…
