Majorana Zero Modes Emulated in a Magnetic Molecule Chain
Silas Hoffman, Jie-Xiang Yu, Shuang-Long Liu +6
We propose molecular magnets as a platform to emulate Majorana zero modes (MZMs). Using a quantum chemistry approach, we identify several candidates and predict a Co trimer to have…
Universal quantum operation of spin-3/2 Blume-Capel chains
Silas Hoffman, Yiyuan Chen, Hai-Ping Cheng +1
We propose a logical qubit based on the Blume-Capel model: a higher spin generalization of the Ising chain and which allows for an on-site anisotropy preserving rotational invarian…
Yu-Shiba-Rusinov States and Ordering of Magnetic Impurities Near the Boundary of a Superconducting Nanowire
Oindrila Deb, Silas Hoffman, Daniel Loss +1
We theoretically study the spectrum induced by one and two magnetic impurities near the boundary of a one-dimensional nanowire in proximity to a conventional -wave superconducto…
Superconducting Quantum Interference in Edge State Josephson Junctions
Tamás Haidekker Galambos, Silas Hoffman, Patrik Recher +2
We study superconducting quantum interference in a Josephson junction linked via edge states in two-dimensional (2D) insulators. We consider two scenarios in which the 2D insulator…
Theory of topological spin Josephson junctions
Pei-Xin Shen, Silas Hoffman, Mircea Trif
We study the spin transport through a 1D quantum Ising-XY-Ising spin link that emulates a topological superconducting-normal-superconducting structure via Jordan-Wigner (JW) transf…
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…
