Majorana bound states in a disordered quantum dot chain
P. Zhang, Franco Nori
We study Majorana bound states in a disordered chain of semiconductor quantum dots proximity-coupled to an s-wave superconductor. By calculating its topological quantum number, bas…

Coherent manipulation of a Majorana qubit by a mechanical resonator
P. Zhang, Franco Nori
We propose a hybrid system composed of a Majorana qubit and a nanomechanical resonator, implemented by a spin-orbit-coupled superconducting nanowire, using a set of static and osci…

Spin-Orbit Qubit on a Multiferroic Insulator in a Superconducting Resonator
P. Zhang, Ze-Liang Xiang, Franco Nori
We propose a spin-orbit qubit in a nanowire quantum dot on the surface of a multiferroic insulator with a cycloidal spiral magnetic order. The spiral exchange field from the multif…
