Z4 parafermions in an interacting quantum spin Hall Josephson junction coupled to an impurity spin
Z4 parafermions can be realized in a strongly interacting quantum spin Hall Josephson junction or in a spin Hall Josephson junction strongly coupled to an impurity spin. In this paper, we study a system that has both features, but with weak (repulsive) interactions and a weakly coupled spin. We show that for a strongly anisotropic exchange interaction, at low temperatures the system enters a st...
متن کاملAn Extraordinary Josephson Junction
The combination of symmetry breaking effects, such as those occurring in magnets and superconductors, with topological order may result in remarkable new physics. Recent theoretical studies suggest that, in certain superconductors, exotic quasiparticle excitations can emerge that behave like Majorana fermions, chargeneutral quasiparticles that are their own antiparticles. In Physical Review Let...
متن کاملThe Interacting Impurity Josephson Junction: Variational Wavefunctions and Slave Boson Mean Field Theory
We investigate the Josephson coupling between two superconductors mediated through an infinite U Anderson impurity, adapting a variational wavefunction approach which has proved successful for the Kondo model. Unlike the Kondo problem, however, a crossing of singlet and doublet state energies may be produced by varying the ratio of Kondo energy to superconducting gap, in agreement with recent w...
متن کاملDuality in Josephson Junction Arrays
Various properties of mesoscopic two-dimensional Josephson junction arrays are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to structure of the topological excitations, charges and vortices, which are shown to be dual to each other. This duality persists in the presence of external magnetic fields and offset charges, which influence vortices and charges in an equivalent way. A double-layer junction a...
متن کاملScreening in Josephson-junction ladders.
Both critical current and Shapiro steps in Josephson ladders are found to show effects of vortex exclusion below a critical magnetic field. Vortices are excluded even though the flux itself is not screened out. When current is injected perpendicular to the ladder edges, the critical current is unchanged from its f50 value up to a penetration field of f c1''0.12 flux quanta per plaquette. Simila...
