Current Flow in Topological Insulator Josephson Junctions due to Imperfections
Kiryl Piasotski, Omri Lesser, Adrian Reich +5
Recent experiments on planar superconductor-topological insulator-superconductor (S-TI-S) junctions, e.g., in Corbino geometry, have reported low-temperature nonzero Josephson curr…
Josephson bifurcation readout: beyond the monochromatic approximation
Yuriy Makhlin, Alexander B. Zorin
We analyze properties of bifurcation quantum detectors based on weakly nonlinear superconducting resonance circuits, in particular, with application to quantum readout. The develop…
Quantum computation at the edge of a disordered Kitaev honeycomb lattice
Igor Timoshuk, Konstantin Tikhonov, Yuriy Makhlin
We analyze propagation of quantum information along chiral Majorana edge states in two-dimensional topological materials. The use of edge states may facilitate the braiding operati…
Quantum computations with topological edge states
Igor Timoshuk, Yuriy Makhlin
Topological quantum computations can be implemented with local Majorana zero modes. To simplify manipulations, one can use Majorana edge states in gapped two-dimensional systems. H…
Jordan-Wigner transformations for tree structures
Stefan Backens, Alexander Shnirman, Yuriy Makhlin
The celebrated Jordan--Wigner transformation provides an efficient mapping between spin chains and fermionic systems in one dimension. Here we extend this spin-fermion mapping to a…
Emulating Majorana fermions and their braiding by Ising spin chains
Stefan Backens, Alexander Shnirman, Yuriy Makhlin +3
We analyse the control of Majorana zero-energy states by mapping the fermionic system onto a chain of Ising spins. Although the topological protection is lost for the Ising system,…
