Majorana Fermions in Magnetic Chains
Rémy Pawlak, Silas Hoffman, Jelena Klinovaja +2
Majorana fermions have recently garnered a great attention outside the field of particle physics, in condensed matter physics. In contrast to their particle physics counterparts, M…
Entangling Spins in Double Quantum Dots and Majorana Bound States
Marko J. Rančić, Silas Hoffman, Constantin Schrade +2
We study the coupling between a singlet-triplet qubit realized in a double quantum dot to a topological qubit realized by spatially well-separated Majorana bound states. We demonst…
Topological Phase Detection in Rashba Nanowires with a Quantum Dot
Denis Chevallier, Paweł Szumniak, Silas Hoffman +2
We study theoretically the detection of the topological phase transition occurring in Rashba nanowires with proximity-induced superconductivity using a quantum dot. The bulk states…
Spin-dependent coupling between quantum dots and topological quantum wires
Silas Hoffman, Denis Chevallier, Daniel Loss +1
Considering Rashba quantum wires with a proximity-induced superconducting gap as physical realizations of Majorana fermions and quantum dots, we calculate the overlap of the Majora…
