Shortcuts to nonabelian braiding
Torsten Karzig, Falko Pientka, Gil Refael +1
Topological quantum information processing relies on adiabatic braiding of nonabelian quasiparticles. Performing the braiding operations in finite time introduces transitions out o…
Optimal Control of Majorana Zero Modes
Torsten Karzig, Armin Rahmani, Felix von Oppen +1
Braiding of Majorana zero modes provides a promising platform for quantum information processing, which is topologically protected against errors. Strictly speaking, however, the s…
Topological Polaritons and Excitons in Garden Variety Systems
Charles-Edouard Bardyn, Torsten Karzig, Gil Refael +1
Topological polaritons (aka topolaritons) present a new frontier for topological behavior in solid-state systems. They combine light and matter, which allows to probe and manipulat…
Topological Polaritons
Torsten Karzig, Charles-Edouard Bardyn, Netanel Lindner +1
The interaction between light and matter can give rise to novel topological states. This principle was recently exemplified in Floquet topological insulators, where \emph{classical…
Energy relaxation and thermalization of hot electrons in quantum wires
Torsten Karzig, Leonid I. Glazman, Felix von Oppen
We develop a theory of energy relaxation and thermalization of hot carriers in real quantum wires. Our theory is based on a controlled perturbative approach for large excitation en…
