Majorana Quasi-Particles Protected by Angular Momentum Conservation
F. Iemini, L. Mazza, L. Fallani +3
We show how angular momentum conservation can stabilise a symmetry-protected quasi-topological phase of matter supporting Majorana quasi-particles as edge modes in one-dimensional…
Topological Flat Bands from Dipolar Spin Systems
Norman Y. Yao, Chris R. Laumann, Alexey V. Gorshkov +4
We propose and analyze a physical system that naturally admits two-dimensional topological nearly flat bands. Our approach utilizes an array of three-level dipoles (effective S = 1…
Topologically Protected Quantum State Transfer in a Chiral Spin Liquid
Norman Y. Yao, Chris R. Laumann, Alexey V. Gorshkov +5
Topology plays a central role in ensuring the robustness of a wide variety of physical phenomena. Notable examples range from the robust current carrying edge states associated wit…
Quantum computations with atoms in optical lattices: marker qubits and molecular interactions
T. Calarco, U. Dorner, P. Julienne +2
We develop a scheme for quantum computation with neutral atoms, based on the concept of "marker" atoms, i.e., auxiliary atoms that can be efficiently transported in state-independe…
Optical pumping of quantum dot nuclear spins
A. Imamoglu, E. Knill, L. Tian +1
An all-optical scheme to polarize nuclear spins in a single quantum dot is analyzed. The hyperfine interaction with randomly oriented nuclear spins presents a fundamental limit for…
Spin-based optical quantum gates via Pauli blocking in semiconductor quantum dots
E. Pazy, E. Biolatti, T. Calarco +4
We present a solid-state implementation of ultrafast conditional quantum gates. Our proposal for a quantum-computing device is based on the spin degrees of freedom of electrons con…
