Quantum-Assisted Graph Domination Games
C. Weeks, P. Strange, P. Drmota +1
We study quantum advantage in the 1-step graph domination game on cycle graphs numerically, analytically and through the use of Noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) processors.…
Flat bands with non-trivial topology in three dimensions
C. Weeks, M. Franz
We construct a simple model for electrons in a three-dimensional crystal where a combination of short-range hopping and spin-orbit coupling results in nearly flat bands characteriz…
Engineering a robust quantum spin Hall state in graphene via adatom deposition
Conan Weeks, Jun Hu, Jason Alicea +2
The 2007 discovery of quantized conductance in HgTe quantum wells delivered the field of topological insulators (TIs) its first experimental confirmation. While many three-dimensio…
Topological Insulators on the Lieb and Perovskite Lattices
C. Weeks, M. Franz
Electrons hopping on the sites of a two-dimensional Lieb lattice and three-dimensional edge centered cubic (perovskite) lattice are shown to form topologically non-trivial insulati…
Interaction driven instabilities of a Dirac semi-metal
C. Weeks, M. Franz
We explore the possible particle-hole instabilities that can arise in a system of massless Dirac fermions on both the honeycomb and pi-flux square lattices with short range interac…
Creation and manipulation of anyons in a layered superconductor-2DEG system
G. Rosenberg, B. Seradjeh, C. Weeks +1
We describe and analyze in detail our recent theoretical proposal for the realization and manipulation of anyons in a weakly interacting system consisting of a two-dimensional elec…
Fractionalization in a square-lattice model with time-reversal symmetry
B. Seradjeh, C. Weeks, M. Franz
We propose a two-dimensional time-reversal invariant system of essentially non-interacting electrons on a square lattice that exhibits configurations with fractional charges e/2. T…
Anyons in a weakly interacting system
C. Weeks, G. Rosenberg, B. Seradjeh +1
We describe a theoretical proposal for a system whose excitations are anyons with the exchange phase pi/4 and charge -e/2, but, remarkably, can be built by filling a set of single-…
