Braiding Majorana Fermions and Creating Quantum Logic Gates with Vortices on a Periodic Pinning Structure
X. Ma, C. J. O. Reichhardt, C. Reichhardt
We show how vortices that support Majorana fermions when placed on a periodic pinning array can be used for vortex exchange and independent braiding by performing a series of speci…
Rotational transition, domain formation, dislocations and defects in vortex systems with combined six- and 12-fold anisotropic interactions
M. W. Olszewski, M. R. Eskildsen, C. Reichhardt +1
We introduce a new model for a pairwise repulsive interaction potential of vortices in a type-II superconductor, consisting of superimposed six- and 12-fold anisotropies. Using num…
Ice Rule and Emergent Frustration in Particle Ice and Beyond
Antonio Ortiz-Ambriz, Cristiano Nisoli, Charles Reichhardt +2
Geometric frustration and the ice rule are two concepts that are intimately connected and widespread across condensed matter. The first refers to the inability of a system to satis…
